The purpose of this circular is to give you (i) further information in respect of the Disposal, the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee regarding the Disposal Agreement, the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement and the CY Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (iii) a letter from CSC Asia containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Disposal Agreement, the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement, the CY Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (iv) the notice of EGM and the proxy form.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

I. THE DISPOSAL

On 31 December 2008, the Company, Zhong Yi and Beijing Diye entered into the Disposal Agreement, pursuant to which, Zhong Yi has conditionally agreed to purchase and the Company has conditionally agreed to sell the Company’s entire 80% equity interest in Beijing Diye at a cash consideration of RMB200 million. The Level 1 Development Qualification of Scenic Bay owned by Beijing Diye contributes the principal asset of Beijing Diye. Such consideration would also include the Group’s receivable from Beijing Diye as at 31 December 2008.

On 15 May 2009, the Company, Zhong Yi and Beijing Diye entered into a supplemental agreement for the purpose of extending the long stop date of the Disposal from 30 June 2009 to 31 December 2009.

On 17 December 2009, the Company, Zhong Yi and Beijing Diye entered into another supplemental agreement for the purpose of further extending the long stop date of the Disposal from 31 December 2009 to 30 June 2010.

(i) The Disposal Agreement

Date : 31 December 2008 (as supplemented by two agreements dated 15 May 2009 and 17 December 2009) Vendor : The Company Purchaser : Zhong Yi

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, Zhong Yi and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and connected persons of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules).

Asset to be disposed

Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, Zhong Yi has conditionally agreed to purchase and the Company has conditionally agreed to sell (i) the 80% equity interest of Beijing Diye; and (ii) the Group’s receivable from Beijing Diye in the amount of RMB461,184,000 as at 31 December 2008.

At the date of the Disposal Agreement, both parties confirmed that Scenic Bay would still be required to proceed with the formal registration procedures through tender, auction and offering. Upon Completion of the Disposal, Zhong Yi shall be responsible for all the registration matters, follow up, development, construction and marketing works of Scenic Bay, including the daily operations and management of Beijing Diye. In the event that Scenic Bay fails to launch its offering, following the full payment of consideration for the Disposal by Zhong Yi to the Company, Zhong Yi will be entitled to any compensation as stated in the government provisions. The Company is also given to understand from the relevant government provisions that the Company will not be liable for the said compensation.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The consideration for the Disposal is RMB200,000,000 which was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Zhong Yi, and taking into account the fact that:

  • (i) the valuation report as at 30 November 2008 prepared by Malcolm & Associates Appraisal Limited indicated that the properties held by Beijing Diye did not possess any commercial value;

  • (ii) The Company has approached some potential investors in relation to the disposal of 80% equity interest in Beijing Diye. However, due to the fact that Beijing Diye is unable to obtain the relevant land use right, many potential investors withdraw from negotiation;

  • (iii) As at present the Group does not have sufficient resources to proceed with the formal registration procedures through tender, auction and offering for Scenic Bay. As such, it is expected that the relevant land will be sold to other third party and compensation will be provided to the Group by the government. However, it is difficult for the Group to predict the time for the said auction and the amount of compensation to be provided by the government. The amount of receivable owed to Group from Beijing Diye is RMB461,184,000, and expected to be settled by the said compensation;

  • (iv) If the proposed sale to Zhong Yi be proceed, there will be an immediate cash inflow of RMB200,000,000 to the Group, despite the reduction of the said receivable of RMB461,184,000;

  • (v) Due to the fact that the Company is urgently required to reduce its liability and increase its net cash flow for the purpose of resumption of trading of the shares, in view of the said uncertainties concerning the time of auction and amount of compensation, the Directors are of the view that under such urgent need of cash, in such oblique circumstances, the consideration of RMB200,000,000 in cash for the Disposal is fair and reasonable; and

  • (vi) In determining the basis for the consideration, Zhong Yi has taken into account the profit attributable to the operation of Scenic Bay to be realized by Zhong Yi after obtaining the land use right of the land under Scenic Bay, but subject to the risk of not obtaining the said land use right.

The Directors represent that it is possible that the compensation provided by the government will not be more than RMB461,184,000.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consideration of RMB200,000,000 is approximately the same as the net asset value of the Group after reduction of the receivables of RMB461,184,000 from the net liabilities of Beijing Diye of RMB261,184,000 as at 31 December 2008.

According to the property valuation report prepared by Malcolm & Associates Appraisal Limited, as Appendix VI to this circular, the valuation of the properties held by Beijing Diye did not possess any commercial value as at 30 November 2009.

Payment terms

The consideration of RMB200 million for the Disposal would be payable by Zhong Yi to the Company in the following manner:

  • (i) as to RMB2 million in cash as refundable deposit within 10 days upon signing of the Disposal Agreement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the said refundable deposit has been fully paid;

  • (ii) as to RMB25 million in cash within 5 Business Days upon the date on which the Due Diligence Review has been completed and the assets and liabilities of Beijing Diye have been confirmed by both parties to the Disposal Agreement, or the date on which the conditions precedent are fulfilled (whichever is later); and

  • (iii) the remaining balance of RMB173 million shall be fully paid within 3 Business Days following the approval and issuance of new business licence by the administration for industry and commerce authority.

Conditions precedent

Completion of the Disposal is subject to the following conditions precedent:

  • (i) the Shareholders having in general meeting to be held on or before the long stop date (ie. 30 June 2010) approved the Disposal Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the requirements of memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the Listing Rules; and

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange having granted or agreeing to grant the approval for resumption of trading of H shares of the Company, whether subject to conditions or not.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be in breach of any terms pursuant to the Disposal Agreement in the case of condition (i) above cannot be fulfilled. The Company also has the right to terminate the Disposal and refund the deposit paid by Zhong Yi in the case of condition (ii) above cannot be fulfilled.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, condition (ii) has been fulfilled.

Completion of the Disposal

Completion of the Disposal is subject to the fulfillment of all conditions mentioned above on or before the long stop date (ie. 30 June 2010). After completion of the Disposal, the Company will cease to have any interest in Beijing Diye and accordingly, Beijing Diye will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

Termination of the Disposal Agreement

The Disposal Agreement shall be terminated in the event of the followings:

  • (i) each party agrees unanimously to terminate the Disposal Agreement;

  • (ii) the representations and warranties made by a party in the Disposal Agreement are inaccurate or in breach of the representations and warranties made, resulting in failure of the other party to fulfill its purpose of signing the Disposal Agreement. In such case, the other party has the right to terminate the Disposal Agreement;

  • (iii) the Disposal Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereunder cannot be approved by the Shareholders at the general meeting; or

  • (iv) both parties fail to perform the major obligations of the Disposal Agreement.

Upon termination of the Disposal Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties shall cease and terminate save for claim (if any) in respect of any antecedent breach thereof.

(ii) Gain or loss on the Disposal

It is estimated that there will be no gain and loss for the Disposal at a consideration of RMB200,000,000 and with reference to the net liabilities of Beijing Diye of approximately RMB261,184,000 as at 31 December 2008 and its amount due to the Group of approximately RMB461,184,000 as at 31 December 2008.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) Intended use of proceeds

The sale proceeds from the Disposal would be applied (i) for the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition pursuant to the resumption proposal; and (ii) as working capital of the Company. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, none of the refundable deposit of RMB2 million from the Disposal had been utilized.

(v) Information on Scenic Bay

The Group acquired the residential project “Scenic Bay” (formerly name as “Water-Flowers City”) in Beijing through the acquisition of 100% indirect interest in Beijing Diye on 21 April 2003. The project site is a vacant land located at Districts C & D, Guang Zhuang Xin Cun, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the PRC, which occupies an area of approximately 129,000 square metres, and the planned gross floor area is approximately 195,000 square metres. During the year 2003, the project was under the preliminary planning phase and its phase one development was estimated to be roofed by August 2004.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In the years 2004 and 2005, the project of “Scenic Bay” in Beijing had not yet officially commenced construction, as affected by the policy adjustments regarding suspension of the application, approval and construction of all real estate development projects in Beijing, but had obtained approval for land requisition from relevant government authorities, and the subsequent work was under planning.

In the year 2006, the project of “Scenic Bay” in Beijing has obtained the certificate of land approval in addition to the approval for land requisition obtained in year 2005. However, it was required to sale by listing in the market due to the suspension of the “Green Belt” construction project policy of Beijing Municipal Government. Under the active negotiation of Beijing Diye, the Level 1 Development Qualification of “Scenic Bay” has been obtained.

In the year 2007, the project of “Scenic Bay” in Beijing did not make significant progress. Owing to the promulgation of Property Law, the resettlement problem of the land purposed for “Scenic Bay” cannot accomplish completely. As a result, the land failed to meet the requirements for sale. Beijing Diye was under negotiation with local authorities to seek a resolution.

In the year 2008, the construction of “Scenic Bay” in Beijing has not yet commenced but the Company was actively planning to realize the project for adjusting the business structure of the Group.

(vi) Information on the Group

Trading in the H shares of the Company has been suspended since 15 December 2004. Prior to the suspension, the Group was principally engaged in property development, educational investment and cemetery development in the PRC. The Group encountered financial distress in the last few years and has been downsizing the scale of operations since its suspension of trading in H shares. Most of the Group’s assets had been sold through auctions as ordered by the courts in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the principal activity of the Group is the rental operation of a property in Zhuhai which is currently leased to Zhuhai Subsidiary Experimental School of Beijing University.

The Directors confirm that the Company does not have any present agreement, arrangement, negotiation and/or plan to (i) carry out business other than development and sale of real estate and investment in and management of education; (ii) acquire other businesses/assets; and (iii) dispose its existing businesses/assets or the businesses & assets to be acquired under the resumption proposal, after resumption.

(vii) Information on Zhong Yi

Zhong Yi is a limited liability company incorporated at Room 2006, Qingyun Dangdai Mansion, District 9 Manting Fangyuan, Qingyun Lane, Haidian District, Beijing, the PRC on 8 January 2004. It is principally engaged in investment holding with a registered capital of RMB2,000,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Zhong Yi is owned by three PRC individuals.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(viii) Reasons for entering into the Disposal Agreement

Pursuant to the resumption proposal for the purpose of resumption of trading in the H shares of the Company, the Disposal is expected to (i) enhance the cash position and thus the working capital of the Group; and (ii) as the status of the title of Beijing Diye is unclear, after the Disposal, all the status of title of the properties held by the Group will be clear.

In light of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

II. THE JBMOE ACQUISITION

On 5 January 2009, the Company and Beijing Tianqiao entered into the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement with the JBMOE Vendors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase and the JBMOE Vendors agreed to sell their entire equity interests in JBMOE, which owns the SZ Property, at a consideration of RMB80,000,000. The JBMOE Acquisition Agreement stipulates that a guarantee shall be provided by the JBMOE Vendors that the annual rental income to be generated by JBMOE for two years following the JBMOE Acquisition shall be no less than RMB3,500,000.

The Company will publish an announcement in accordance with Rule 2.07C of the Listing Rules if the profits of JBMOE are less than the amount guaranteed and will include details in its next published annual report and accounts.

VI. GENERAL

The Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a very substantial disposal as defined under the Listing Rules and are subject to announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. None of the shareholders of the Company has a material interest in the transaction and none of them shall abstain from voting at the EGM. The controlling shareholder of the Company, Beijing Mingde Guangye, holding 58.8% of the issued share capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date, undertakes to vote in favour of the resolution concerning the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

As the applicable percentage ratio as defined under the Listing Rules of the JBMOE Acquisition is more than 25% but less than 100%, the JBMOE Acquisition constitutes a major transaction under the Listing Rules.

As Beijing Jade Bird, being one of the JBMOE Vendors, was an indirect substantial shareholder of the Company on the date of signing the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement (prior to the change of controlling shareholder of the Company), the JBMOE Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules. Details of the change of the controlling shareholder of the Company are stated in the announcements of the Company dated 24 March, 27 April, 1 June, 3 July, 4 August and 8 September 2009 respectively. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Beijing Jade Bird is no longer an indirect shareholder of the Company.

An EGM will be convened and held to seek approval from the Independent Shareholders. Any shareholders of the Company that has a material interest in the JBMOE Acquisition will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the resolutions at the EGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the shareholders of the Company has a material interest in the JBMOE Acquisition and none of them shall abstain from voting at the EGM. The Controlling Shareholder undertakes to vote in favour of the resolution concerning the JBMOE Acquisition.

The CY Acquisition constitutes a major acquisition on the part of the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. None of the Shareholders has a material interest in the transaction and none of them shall abstain from voting at the EGM. The controlling shareholder of the Company, Beijing Mingde Guangye, holding 58.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, undertakes to vote in favour of the resolution concerning the CY Acquisition.

Given that the Disposal, the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition are part and parcel of the resumption proposal, the sale proceeds from the Disposal will be applied for the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition and the JBMOE Acquisition is a connected transaction under the Listing Rules, the Disposal and the CY Acquisition will be subject to the same Listing Rule requirements as the JBMOE Acquisition.

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in relation to the terms of the Proposed Transactions is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, whether the terms of the Proposed Transactions are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and whether the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

A. Background of and reasons for the Disposal, the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition

On 22 June 2009, the Stock Exchange informed the Company in writing that it was granted an approval from the Listing Appeals Committee (the “ LAC ”) of the Stock Exchange to resume in its H Shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain conditions as set out in the announcement of the Company dated 26 June 2009. These conditions include, among other things, the completion of the Disposal, the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition. All conditions for the resumption of trading in the H Shares imposed by the LAC must be fulfilled prior to the deadline on 28 February 2010 (the “ Deadline ”). Based on our discussion with the Directors, we understand that the entering of the Disposal Agreement, the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement and the CY Acquisition Agreement are considered to be one of the actions taken by the Company pursuant to the resumption proposal submitted by the Company for the resumption of the trading in the H Shares. The Company is in the process of preparing relevant documents for the compliance of conditions and the Directors will try their best efforts and endeavor to fulfill the conditions before the Deadline and hence the trading of H Shares may be resumed.

Prior to the suspension of trading in the H Shares on 15 December 2004, the Company was principally engaged in the development, sales and leasing of real estate, and the investment and management of education projects through its subsidiaries. Most of the Group’s assets had been sold through auctions as ordered by the courts in the PRC. As at the date of the Circular, the principal activity of the Group is the rental operation of a property in Zhuhai, which is currently leased to Zhuhai Subsidiary Experimental School of Beijing University.

As set out in the 2009 interim report of the Company, the Group encountered operations and funding difficulties due to the deterioration of the Group’s property related business. As such, the Group downsized its real estate development business, save for two remaining projects on hand and Scenic Bay is one of the projects intended to be disposed of by the Company. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no new real estate development businesses.

The Directors consider that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to dispose of its loss-making property business and reduce its capital commitment as no operational cash flow will be required to support the Scenic Bay. Following the completion of the Disposal, the Group will have sufficient cash to look for other investment opportunities with greater earnings potential. The Directors also expressed that the Group will continue to identify and pursue quality real estate development projects in first-tier cities and second-tier cities in the PRC to enhance its real estate project portfolio and to maintain business growth.

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in the past few years, there has been a significant increase in transaction volume in the property market in many cities in the PRC. The increase may be attributable to a series of factors including certain PRC government initiatives such as tax reductions, interest rate cuts, increased liquidity and greater consumer confidence in the general economy. The total floor area sold in the PRC for the ten months period ended October 2009 increased by approximately 3.6% over that for the nine months period ended September 2009. Certain market analysts believed that the surge in selling price and transaction volume in October 2009 was due to the market’s anticipation of the withdrawal of preferential mortgage rate by the PRC government before the end of 2009.

In addition to the above-mentioned announced government initiatives and healthy growth of the real estate market in the PRC, the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition will generate stable rental income to the Group and expand its real estate portfolio in the PRC. As this is in line with the Group’s principal activities, together with the financial and trading prospects of the Group as stated in the Letter from the Board, and thus is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We concur with this view.

The year ended 31 December 2008 versus the year ended 31 December 2007

As set out above, the Group’s property development business accounted for approximately 92.4% of the Group’s total revenue generated from continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2008 (2007: 0.4%). The Group recorded turnover of approximately RMB39.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, which represents more than four times to the Group’s turnover recorded for the year ended 31 December 2007 of approximately RMB7.1 million. The increase was mainly attributable the improvement in the property related business from which the turnover contributed amounted to approximately RMB36.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008 as compared to approximately RMB3.9 million for the respective period in 2007. Nevertheless, the Group recorded loss attributable to the Shareholders of approximately RMB54.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, which represented a decrease of approximately RMB170.3 million from the profit attributable to the Shareholders of approximately RMB115.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. The Group recorded a profit from discontinued operations of the cemetery development business of approximately RMB166.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2007, including a operating loss of approximately RMB31.6 million and a profit from disposal of cemetery development business of RMB198.4 million respectively, which constituted the substantial increase in profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2007.

The six months ended 30 June 2009 versus the six months ended 30 June 2008

As set out above, the Group’s property development business accounted for approximately 96.1% of the Group’s total revenue generated from continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2008 (2007: 30.8%). For the six months ended 30 June 2009, the Group recorded an unaudited turnover of approximately RMB2.2 million, which represented a substantial decrease of approximately 94.3% comparing with the unaudited turnover of approximately RMB38.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to the drop in turnover from property related business from approximately RMB36.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2008 to approximately RMB667,000 for the respective period in 2009. The deterioration of the Group’s property related business was mainly due to operations and funding difficulties the Group faced during the period. The unaudited loss attributable to the Shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2009 amounted to approximately RMB1.8 million, which represented a drop of approximately RMB139.9 million from approximately RMB138.1 million for the respective period in 2008. The significant gain of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2008 was attributable to a one-off gain on disposal of subsidiaries of approximately RMB157.9 million.

Further, according to the management accounts of the Beijing Diye, net losses after tax, net liabilities and amounts due to the Group’s companies of Beijing Diye for the two years ended 31 December 2008 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2009 are as follows:

Amounts due to the

Beijing Diye recorded net losses after tax of approximately RMB2.1 million and approximately RMB211.1 million for the two years ended 31 December 2008 respectively. Net liabilities increased from approximately RMB50.1 million as at 31 December 2007 to approximately RMB261.2 million as at 31 December 2008. The substantial surge of the net losses after tax and net liabilities was mainly due to approximately RMB216.4 million impairment provision made by the Group on the held-for-sale property for the year ended 31 December 2008. For the eight months ended 31 August 2009, Beijing Diye continued to make a net loss after tax of approximately RMB1.0 million. As at 31 August 2009, net liabilities of Beijing Diye amounted to approximately RMB262.2 million. In addition, we noted that amounts due from Beijing Diye to the Group’s companies amounted to approximately RMB460.5 million as at 31 August 2009.

Given that Beijing Diye continued to accumulate losses and liabilities for the two years ended 31 December 2008 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2009, the Directors consider that it is difficult to estimate the time required for Beijing Diye to start to generate profit and thus to repay the outstanding borrowings. In addition, the Directors consider that the prospects and future profitability of Beijing Diye are of great uncertainties as Beijing Diye had not yet obtained the land use right and relevant licenses from the government authorities.

Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and we concur with this view.

2. Positive outlook of the property market in the PRC

We believe that the economic growth of the PRC, increase in disposable income and savings, emergence of the mortgage lending market and increase in urbanization rate are the key factors in sustaining the growth of the PRC property market. Government housing reforms continue to encourage private ownership and it is expected that an increasing proportion of urban residents who will own private properties will continue to increase over the coming years. Amid at a favorable environment that has been characterized by strong GDP per capita growth and an increasing demand for higher living standards, investments in real estate development in the PRC rose from approximately RMB1,015 billion in 2003 to approximately RMB3,058 billion in 2008, reflecting a CAGR of 24.7%.

As shown in the above tables, the property market in the PRC including both Beijing and Shenzhen is generally in an upward trend though, in 2008, the property market has generally slowed down mainly due to the global financial crisis beginning in the second half of 2008. However, as mentioned in the section headed “Background of and reasons for the Disposal, the JBMOE Acquisition and the CY Acquisition” in our letter, the PRC government had announced the fiscal stimulus package to boost the PRC economy which we believe that the Group may be benefited in this regard with an opportunity to wider its earning base so as to improve its overall financial performance in the long run.

B. Basis of consideration

The Disposal Agreement

Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, the consideration payable in cash by Zhong Yi for the Disposal is RMB200 million. Such consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Zhong Yi and taking into account of the factors as disclosed under section headed “Consideration” in the Letter from the Board which includes, but not limited to, the profit attributable to the operation of Scenic Bay, which contributes the principal asset of Beijing Diye, and the Group’s receivable from Beijing Diye in the amount of approximately RMB461.2 million as at 31 December 2008.

– 36 –

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

Based on the property valuation report contained in the Appendix VI to the Circular (the “ Valuation Report ”), prepared by Malcolm & Associates Appraisal Limited (“ MAAL ”), an independent property valuer of the Group, the land for the operation of Scenic Bay as at 30 November 2009 has no commercial value due to the fact that the land use right and relevant licenses of Beijing Diye has not been obtained. Given that the land use right and relevant licenses of Beijing Diye has not been obtained as at the date of the Disposal Agreement, such land has no commercial value.

In attempting to estimate the land value of Scenic Bay, we have discussed with MAAL on the alternative ways by taking the historical transaction figures of similar lands or buildings located in the same area of the Scenic Bay as reference. However, as advised by MAAL, the land for the operation of Scenic Bay cannot be developed without the legal title and land use right, which has been pending for over two years, not to mention the future purpose of land, the storeys and size of the properties allowed to be developed. Based on the above, the valuation of the land of Scenic Bay by using the historical transaction figures of similar lands or buildings as reference would not be applicable, and there is no basis to assess the consideration for the Disposal by the property valuation. Therefore, we have reviewed and based on the historical financial performance of Beijing Diye as an alternative reference for the valuation of the land of Scenic Bay. We note that the consideration represents a premium over net liabilities of Beijing Diye as at 31 December 2008 and compensates the difference between the net liabilities of Beijing Diye of approximately RMB261.2 million and the amount due from Beijing Diye of approximately RMB461.2 million as at 31 December 2008. Accordingly, there will be no gain and loss for the Disposal. Further, Beijing Diye continued to incur net loss of approximately RMB1.0 million for the eight months ended 31 August 2009, at which, net liabilities was approximately RMB262.4 million.

As advised by the Directors, the Company has been looking for opportunities to dispose of its entire 80% equity interest in Beijing Diye since mid 2008, but was unsuccessful. During the negotiation process, the potential purchasers backed out from the acquisition, mainly due to the lack of land use right and relevant licenses for Scenic Bay, which reveals that the unclear title of Scenic Bay project and the substantial amount due from Beijing Diye to the Group were an obstacle to completion of the potential disposal in relation to Beijing Diye. Further, the Directors advise that the land use right must be obtained through tender, auction and offering which is hard for the Company to proceed with due to its limited financial resources. Though the Company will be entitled to a certain amount of compensation from the government in case of failure of getting the land use right, the time of auction and the final amount of compensation are of high uncertainties. The Directors consider that the status of title of Beijing Diye will be cleared upon completion of the Disposal. Following that, the Group will have sufficient cash for financing potential acquisition and hence subject to other conditions as set out in the announcement of the Company dated 26 June 2009, to resume the trading of H

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

Shares before the Deadline. Based on the above, we are of the view that the consideration for the Disposal is on normal commercial terms, 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.

The JBMOE Acquisition Agreement

Pursuant to the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement, the consideration payable in cash by the Company for the JBMOE Acquisition is RMB80 million. Such consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company, Beijing Tianqiao and the JBMOE Vendors and with reference to the market value of the SZ Property as at 30 November 2008.

In accessing the fairness and reasonableness of the valuation of the SZ Property, we have reviewed the Valuation Report. We have also discussed with MAAL on the methodology adopted and assumptions used in arriving at its valuation of the SZ Property in the Valuation Report. MAAL valued the SZ Property on an open market basis by the comparison approach assuming sales in the existing states with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant markets (i.e. sales transactions of offices in Nanshan District, Shenzhen). MAAL also adopted the investment approach by taking into account the current rents passing of the constituent units of the properties being held under existing tenancies and the reversionary potential of the tenancies if they have been or would be let to tenants.

As advised by MAAL, the above approach is in accordance with the “First Edition of The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

As stated in the Valuation Report, MAAL has valued the SZ Property based on the assumption that the SZ Property is sold in the open market without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the values of the SZ Property.

In the course of our discussion with MAAL, nothing material has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the valuation of the SZ Property was not prepared on a reasonable basis nor reflect the methodology and assumption which have been adopted and arrived at after due and careful consideration. We have no reason to doubt the fairness and appropriateness of the methodology adopted and assumptions used by MAAL in arriving at the valuation of the SZ Property.

– 38 –

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

The consideration represents a discount of approximately 11.1% and 8.3% to the market value of SZ Property of RMB90.0 million as at 30 November 2008 and RMB87.7 million as at 31 August 2009 respectively. Further, JBMOE recorded a net profit of approximately RMB1.6 million, RMB2.3 million, RMB3.3 million and RMB2.6 million for the three years ended 31 December 2008 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2009 respectively. As such, we consider that the consideration for the JBMOE Acquisition which is at a discount to the market value as at 30 November 2008 and 31 August 2009 is favourable to the Group. Thus we are of the view that the consideration for the JBMOE Acquisition is on normal commercial terms, 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.

The CY Acquisition Agreement

Pursuant to the CY Acquisition Agreement, the consideration payable in cash by the Company for the CY Acquisition is RMB93 million. Such consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Zhong Yi and with reference to the market value of the CY Property as at 30 November 2008. The original purchase cost for the CY Property acquired by Zhong Yi through auction in December 2006 was approximately RMB93.5 million (including commission of approximately RMB1.6 million).

We have discussed with MAAL and note that they valued the CY Property on an open market basis by the comparison approach assuming sales in the existing states with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant markets (i.e. sales transactions of offices in Chaoyang District, Beijing). MAAL also adopted the investment approach by taking into account the current rents passing of the constituent units of the properties being held under existing tenancies and the reversionary potential of the tenancies if they have been or would be let to tenants.

As advised by MAAL, the above approach is in accordance with the “First Edition of The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

As stated in the Valuation Report, MAAL has valued the CY Property based on the assumption that the CY Property is sold in the open market without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the values of the CY Property.

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

In the course of our discussion with MAAL, nothing material has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the valuation of the CY Property was not prepared on a reasonable basis nor reflect the methodology and assumption which have been adopted and arrived at after due and careful consideration. We have no reason to doubt the fairness and appropriateness of the methodology adopted and assumptions used by MAAL in arriving at the valuation of the CY Property.

The consideration represents a discount of approximately 22.5% and 23.1% to the market value of CY Property of RMB120.0 million as at 30 November 2008 and RMB121.0 million as at 31 August 2009 respectively. Further, CY Property recorded a net profit of approximately RMB6.0 million, RMB8.5 million and RMB5.6 million for the two years ended 31 December 2008 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2009 respectively. As such, we consider that the consideration for the CY Acquisition which is at a discount to the market value as at 30 November 2008 and 31 August 2009 is favourable to the Group. Thus we are of the view that the consideration for the CY Acquisition is on normal commercial terms, 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.

C. Profit guarantee

The JBMOE Acquisition Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement, the Company has been guaranteed with minimum annual rental income of RMB3.5 million for each of the two years following the completion of the JBMOE Acquisition. In the event that the annual rental income generated by JBMOE is less than the guaranteed amount of RMB3.5 million, the JBMOE Vendors shall make up for the shortfall within 30 days from the issue of written notice by the Company and pay RMB3.5 million to the Company as compensation. In addition, the SZ Property is subject to various tenancy agreements and the earliest expiring term on 10 June 2010. For the eight months ended 31 August 2009, the aggregate rental income from the SZ Property was approximately RMB5.2 million. The land use rights and building ownership rights of the SZ Property for high-tech development use have been granted to JBMOE for a term expiring on 8 January 2051.

The CY Acquisition Agreement

Pursuant to the terms the CY Acquisition Agreement, Zhong Yi has guaranteed that the annual rental income to be generated by the CY Property will be no less than RMB8.5 million for the two years following the completion of the CY Acquisition. In the event that the annual rental income generated by the CY Property is underpaid or less than the guaranteed amount of RMB8.5 million, Zhong Yi shall make up for the shortfall within 30 days from the issue of written notice by the Company. Furthermore, as advised by the Company, the CY Property is currently subject to two tenancy agreements with an aggregate annual rent of approximately RMB9.7 million, and the earliest expiring term on 14 August 2011.

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

Having considered the terms of profit guarantees contemplated under the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement and the CY Acquisition Agreement and the leasing conditions of the SZ Property and the CY Property, we are of the view that the respective profit guarantees are fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, in particular of ensuring stable rental income to the Group for at least the two years following completion of the respective acquisitions.

(E) Financial Impacts

Based on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Resulting Group contained in Appendix V of the Circular and on the assumption that the Proposed Transactions have been completed, the financial impacts on the Group are discussed as follows:

Net asset value

The audited consolidated net asset value of the Group as at 31 August 2009 was approximately RMB440.8 million. Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, the net impact on the net asset value of the Group will be improved by approximately RMB2.9 million.

Earnings

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately RMB48.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008. Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, the Group will achieve a turnaround to a net profit of approximately RMB78.4 million in its profit and loss account, which is favourable to the Group.

Gearing ratio

Based on the audited financial statements of the Group as at 31 August 2009, the gearing ratio (being total liabilities to net asset) of the Group was 0.30 time. Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, the pro forma gearing ratio of the Group will be 0.34 time.

Cash flow

Based on the audited financial statements of the Group, bank balances and cash as at 31 August 2009 was approximately RMB4.9 million. Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, the Group would recognize a gain of approximately RMB34.9 million, which was primarily resulted from the sales of Disposal, partially offset by the purchases of the SZ Property and the CY Property. We are of the opinion that with sufficient cash on hand allows the Group to be in a better position to look for investment opportunities which are beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 41 –

LETTER FROM CSC ASIA

Taking into account the nominal financial effects upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, we concur with the view of the Directors that the entering of the Disposal Agreement, the JBMOE Acquisition Agreement and the CY Acquisition Agreement are favorable to the Company and the Independent Shareholders and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • the CY Property recorded net income for the two years ended 31 December 2008 and the eight months ended 31 August 2009;

  • the consideration of the CY Acquisition represents a discount of approximately 22.5% and 23.1% to the market value of CY Property of RMB120.0 million as at 30 November 2008 and RMB121.0 million as at 31 August 2009 respectively;

Lo and Kwong C.P.A. Company Limited Certified Public Accountants Suites 216–218, 2/F, Shui On Centre 6–8 Harbour Road, Wanchai Hong Kong Tel: (852) 3188 6200 Fax: (852) 2824 4091

TO THE MEMBERS OF SHENYANG PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDINGS COMPANY LIMITED INCORPORATED IN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA WITH LIMITED LIABILITY

We were engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on page 48 to 122, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 August 2009, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of change in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making reasonable accounting estimates in different circumstances.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Except as described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of

– 44 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

However, because of the matters described in the paragraphs of the basis for disclaimer of opinion, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

BASIS FOR DISCLAIMER OF OPINION

  1. As disclosed in note 26 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s subsidiary, Beijing Diye Real Estate Development Company Limited (“Beijing Diye”), had a held-for-sale property under development project in Beijing with a carrying value of RMB193,941,000 as at 31 December 2008 and 31 August 2009. According to a sale and purchase agreement dated 31 December 2008, the entire interest, that is 80% of Beijing Diye, will be disposed to a third party for a total consideration of RMB200,000,000 upon reaching several conditions. The management has then made approximately RMB216,438,000 impairment provision on the held-for-sale property for the year ended 31 December 2008. Due to insufficient evidence, we were not able to confirm, whether the Group could successfully dispose the Beijing Diye at the captioned consideration of RMB200,000,000 and whether impairment provision of approximately RMB216,438,000 was properly made in respect of the cost of the held-for-sale property of approximately RMB410,379,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008 and whether the held for sale property with the carrying values of RMB193,941,000 as at 31 December 2008 and 31 August 2009 are fairly stated.

Nevertheless, if the sale and purchase agreement is not completed, the land use right of the land used for such property development project must be obtained by way of public tender as a result of the change in the related land policy. If the Group ultimately succeeded in winning the tender of the land and completing the development, the recoverable amount of such project shall depend on the realisable value of the completed property in the future. If the Group did not participate in the public tender or it failed to obtain the land use right of the land in the tender, the recoverable amount of such project shall depend on the amount invested by the Group and such amount should be confirmed by the relevant authorities of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Based on our on-site investigation, no buildings were erected on the land nor had it been put on a public tender up to the date of this report. Due to insufficient evidence, we were not able to confirm whether the Group could successfully recover the development cost invested in such project in full or in the amount net of provision, and whether impairment provision of approximately RMB216,438,000 should be made in respect of the development cost of approximately RMB410,379,000 is sufficient.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Any adjustment to the abovementioned figures could have a consequential and significant effect on the Group’s net asset value as at 31 August 2009 and its operating loss for the year then ended.

MATERIAL FUNDAMENTAL UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO THE GOING CONCERN BASIS

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements concerning the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing such consolidated financial statements. As set out in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the successful implementation of certain financing and share capital restructuring plans and the debt restructuring result reached with the creditors including, the successful disposal of Beijing Diye for the total consideration of RMB200,000,000 and, among other things, the Group will be able to meet it full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. We consider that appropriate disclosures have been made in such consolidated financial statements concerning the relevant material uncertainty, but the inherent uncertainties surrounding the circumstances under which the Company might successfully continue to adopt the going concern basis are so extreme, we have disclaimed our opinion on material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group do not include any adjustment that would be necessary if the Group failed to operate as a going concern. Had the going concern basis not been used, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of the Group’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively.

DISCLAIMER OF OPINION: DISCLAIMER ON VIEW GIVEN BY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraph and the material fundamental uncertainty relating to going concern basis paragraph, we do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 August 2009 and of its loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. In all other respects, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The comparative consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flow of the Group for the eight months ended 31 August 2008 together with the notes thereto have been extracted from the Group’s financial information for the same period (the “31 August 2008 Financial Information”), which was prepared by the directors of the Company solely for the purpose of this report. We have reviewed the 31 August 2008 Financial Information in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA.

A review consists principally of making enquiries of the Company’s management and applying analytical procedures to the 31 August 2008 Financial Information and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 31 August 2008 Financial Information.

REVIEW CONCLUSION

On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the 31 August 2008 Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment properties and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRS issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period/ year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustment will be made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisitions prior to 1 January 2005

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business, with an agreement dated before 1 January 2005, represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant subsidiary at the date of acquisition.

With respect to goodwill previously capitalised on an acquisition of a business, the Group has discontinued amortising such goodwill from 1 January 2005 onwards and such goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill related may be impaired (see the accounting policies below).

Goodwill arising on acquisitions on or after 1 January 2005

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business, with an agreement dated on or after 1 January 2005, represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the relevant business at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Capitalised goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill arising from an acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for

– 60 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the consolidated statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On subsequent disposal of a relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

Investment in an associates

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The results and assets and liabilities of associate are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associates, less any identified impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate (which includes any long term interests that, in substance, form a part of Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liabilities is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from sales of properties is recognised when the risks and rewards of properties are transferred to the purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties had been completed reasonably assured. Deposit and installments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the consolidated statement of financial position under current liabilities.

Revenue from sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

Rental income under operating leases is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease terms. Lease incentives granted are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the accounting period in which they are earned.

Income from provision of property management services is recognised when the services are rendered.

Tuitional fee is recognised over the tuition period in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis.

Interest income from financial assets is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

– 61 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property and equipment other than construction in progress over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

Construction in progress represents property and equipment under development or installment for production or for its own use purposes is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss. Upon completion of construction, the relevant costs are transferred to appropriate category of property and equipment when they are ready for intended use. No depreciation or amortisation is provided on construction in progress until the asset is completed and put into use.

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property is classified as property and equipment and carried at cost less recognised impairment loss until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified to and subsequently accounted for as investment property. Any different between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in profit and loss.

An item of properties and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period/year in which the item is derecognised.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation.

On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured using the fair value model and are stated in the consolidated statement of financial positions at fair value, unless they are still in the course of construction or development at the end of reporting period and their fair value cannot be reliably determined at that time. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and on future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the different between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period/year in which the item is derecognised.

Land use rights

Payment for obtaining land use rights is considered as operating lease payment. Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of land use rights is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the land use rights or the term of the respective enterprise to which the land use rights are granted, whichever is the shorter.

Properties under development for sale

Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and comprise construction costs, land costs, professional fees, interest capitalised and other costs directly attributable to such properties incurred during the construction period. Net realisable value is determined by reference to management estimated based on prevailing market conditions. On completion, the properties are transferred to properties held for sale.

Properties under development expected to be completed within 12 months from the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets.

Properties under development expected to be completed beyond 12 months from the end of reporting period are classified as non-current assets.

Properties held for sale

Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

– 62 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Inventories

Inventories comprise consumable supplies and spare parts held for consumption and usage and are stated at the lower of cost and net relisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis.

Consumable supplies and spare parts are charged to consolidated statement of comprehensive income upon consumption and usage.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted in respect of each category of financial assets are set out below.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At the end of each reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including other long term receivables, trade receivables, amount due from former customers, amount due from parent company, amount due from related company, other receivables and bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. (See accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below)

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.

At the end of each reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in equity, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. (See accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below)

– 63 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured as cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period subsequent to initial recognition. (See accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below)

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.

For an available-for sale equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables and other receivables that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 90 days, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When trade receivables and other receivable are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments will not be reversed in profit or loss in subsequent periods. Any increase in fair value subsequent to impairment loss is recognised directly in equity. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Financial liabilities and equity instrument

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified into other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest expenses are recognised on an effective interest basis.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including trade payables, other payables and accruals, provision for potential liabilities, bank loans and amount due to a former shareholder are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment on tangible assets other than goodwill (see the accounting policies in respect to goodwill

above)

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

When reverses an impairment loss subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Borrowings costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as in profit or loss in the period/ year in which they are incurred.

– 65 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Foreign currencies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period/year in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in equity in the consolidated financial statements. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Renminbi) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period/year, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the exchange reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because its excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other period/years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profits, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will offset against deductible temporary differences which can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent this it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period/ year when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group as lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes, state-managed retirement benefit schemes and mandatory provident fund are charged to profit or loss as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Provision

Provision are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

6. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 5, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period/year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period/year, or in the period/year of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods/years.

The following is the critical judgment, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors of the Company have made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Going concern basis

Although the Group has net loss of approximately RMB4,519,000 for the period ended 31 August 2009, the Group manages it liquidity risk by monitoring it current and expected liquidity requirements regularly and ensuring sufficient liquid cash to meet the Group’s liquidity requirements in the short and long term. The directors of the Company consider that the Group has no significant liquidity risk.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Depreciation of property and equipment

The carrying values of the Group’s property and equipment as at 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 31 August 2009 was approximately RMB156,752,000, RMB133,227,000, RMB7,256,000 and RMB18,061,000 respectively. The Group depreciates the property and equipment on a straight line basis at 2% to 20%, after taking into account their estimated residual values, commencing from the date the property and equipment available for use. The estimated useful life represents the number of years which the Group places the property and equipment into production, reflecting the directors’ estimate of the periods/ years that the Group intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of the Group’s property and equipment. The Group assesses annually the residual value and the useful life of the property and equipment and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the depreciation in the year and the estimate will be changed in the future period.

Impairment loss recognised in respect of property and equipment

The impairment loss for property and equipment are recognised for the amounts by which the carrying amounts exceeds its recoverable amount, in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. The Group has assessed and reviewed annually for impairment loss whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the net asset exceed its recoverable amount. No impairment loss was provided for period/years.

Impairment loss recognised in respect of trade receivables and other receivables

Management regularly reviews the recoverability and age of the trade receivables and other receivables. Appropriate impairment for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

In determining whether impairment loss of trade receivables and other receivables is required, the Group takes into consideration the current creditworthiness, the past collection history, age status and likelihood of collection. Specific impairment is only made for receivables that are unlikely to be collected and is recognised on the difference between the estimated future cash flow expected to receive discounted using the original effective interest rate and its carrying value. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.

Estimated net realisable value on properties held for sale

The Group’s properties under development and properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Based on the Group’s historical experience and the nature of the subject properties, the Group make estimates of the selling prices, the costs of completion of properties under development, and costs to be incurred in selling the properties based on prevailing market conditions.

If there is an increase costs to completion or a decrease in net realisable value will decrease and this may result in a provision for properties held for sale. Such provision requires the use of judgments and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, the carrying value and provision for properties in the period in which such estimate is changed will be adjusted accordingly.

Estimate of fair value of investment properties

Investment properties are stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by an independent professional valuer. In determining the fair value, the valuer has based on a method of valuation which involves certain estimates of market condition. In relying on the valuation report, the directors of the Company have exercised their judgment and are satisfied that the assumptions used in the valuation are reflective of the current market conditions. Changes to these assumptions would result in changes in the fair values of the Group’s investment properties and the corresponding adjustments to the amount of gain or loss reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Provision for potential liabilities

During the current and prior years, the Group had been involved in certain litigation and claims in respect of dispute on construction contract and default payments for sales of properties (Note 42). The directors of the Company determine the provision for potential liabilities based on their best estimated according to their understanding of legal advice. Where the final outcome is different from the estimation made by the directors of the Company, such difference will impact the provision for potential liabilities in the year in which such determination is recognised.

7. 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 recognise the return to shareholders through the recognise of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes bank borrowings (Note 35), bank balance and cash and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a regular basis. As a part of this review, the directors of the Company consider the cost of capital and the associated risks and take appropriate actions to adjust the Group’s capital structure. The overall strategy of the Group remained unchanged.

8.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, amount due from a former customer, amount due from parent company, amounts due from related companies, other receivables, bank balances and cash, trade payable, other payables and accruals, bank loans and amount due to a former shareholder. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk associated with movements in foreign currency rates which affect Group’s financial results and its cashflow. The management considers the Group are not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as the majority of its operations and transactions are in the PRC with their functional currency of RMB.

In the opinion of the directors of the Company, as the currency risk is minimal, no sensitivity analysis is presented.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk relates primarily to variable-rate borrowings. (See note 35 for details of these borrowings.) It is the Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair interest rate risk.

The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. The Group cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the interest rate fluctuation arising from the Group’s borrowings.

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for derivatives and non-derivative financial liabilities. The analysis is prepared assuming the financial liabilities outstanding at the end of reporting date were outstanding for the relevant periods. As at 31 December 2006, 2007, 2008 and 31 August 2009, a 100, 100, 200, 200 basis point respectively, increase or decrease in interest rates of the Peoples’ Bank of China is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

The management adjusted the sensitivity rate from 100 basis points to 200 basis points for assessing interest rate risk after considering the impact of the volatile financial market conditions after the third quarter of 2009.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As at 31 December 2006, 2007, 2008 and 31 August 2009, if interest rates had been 100,100,200 and 200 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s after-tax loss for year ended 31 December 2006, 2007, 2008 and the eight months ended 31 August 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately RMB855,000, RMB502,000, RMB280,000 and RMB280,000 respectively. This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings.

Credit risk

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at 31 December 2006, 2007, 2008 and 31 August 2009 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.

Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks with high credit ratings, the Groups does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk. The Group concentrate credit risk by geographical locations is mainly in the PRC, trade receivables consist of a large number of customers spreading across of the PRC.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the 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. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivable at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Liquidity risk

As the Group suffered a loss before taxation on approximately RMB6,697,000 for the eight months ended 31 August 2009, the management has carefully considered the present policy applied by the Group on liquidity.

Regarding the present policy in the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants. As disclosed in note 2, the management believes the Group will perform financial duties in the future.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. For non-derivative financial liabilities, the table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made as the Group’s income neither arises in, nor is derived from Hong Kong for each of the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007, 2008 and the eight months ended 31 August 2008 and 2009.

The taxation rates applicable to the Group in the PRC are 15%–25% for the year ended 31 December 2008 and for the eight months period ended 31 August 2009 and 2008 and 15%–33% for the year ended 31 December 2007 and 2006.

On 16 March 2007, the PRC promulgated the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “New Law”) by Order No. 63 issued by the Tenth National People’s Congress. On 6 December 2007, the State Council of the PRC issued Implementation Regulations of the New law. Pursuant to the New Law and Implementation Regulations, the Enterprise income Tax for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises will be unified at 25 % effective from 1 January 2008. There will be a transitional period for PRC subsidiaries that currently entitled to preferential tax treatments granted by the relevant tax authorities. PRC subsidiaries currently subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than 25% will continue to enjoy the lower tax rate and be gradually transitioned to the new unified rate of 25 % within five years after 1 January 2008.

The taxation for the period/year can be reconciled to the (loss) profit per the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows:

(Loss) Profit before taxation
– Continuous operations
– Discontinued operations
Income tax at the domestic income
tax rates
Tax effect of expenses deductible for
tax purpose
Tax effect of income not taxable for
tax purpose
Tax effect of recognized tax losses
Income tax credit (expenses)

Relevant land policies in the PRC have been revised in recent years, so the land use right of the land must be obtained through public tendering procedures. Having not obtained the land use right of the land, the Group must participate in the public tendering procedures no matter whether the Group plans to continue developing or transfer the land. The Group has registered in the tendering for the use right of the land. Pursuant to the opinion of the Group’s lawyer, if the highest price in the tender is offered by the Group, the Group will obtain the land use right after paying the land premium. On the other hand, if the land is obtained by others, the Group can recover the paid land development costs, related expenses and a certain proportion of the profits in accordance with relevant regulations. The amount the Group can recover depends on the price of tender and the final cost confirmed by relevant authorities.

  • (c) Included in the completed properties was a project of ‘Jinmao Tower’ located in Shenyang, the PRC with book value of RMB36,302,000 and RMB23,257,000 as at 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007 respectively. The properties have been started to pre-sales in 2003. Due to the delay in the construction, the properties were unable to hand over to the customers on schedule. Consequently, some of the customers demanded for refund of deposit paid.

During the year 2006 and 2007, some customers have occupied the units they purchased. But since the Group has not completed the procedures of obtaining Real Estates Title certificate for purchase as at 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007, the sales amount of RMB14,721,000 and RMB14,325,000 received respectively was not recognised as income but stated as receipts in advance under current liabilities.

  • (e) The claim for RMB80,000,000 from Hua Jin Hua Gong after the loan disputes between the Company and Guangdong Development Bank

RMB80, 000,000 was sequestrated from the account of Hua Jin Hua Gong in settlement of the RMB171,000,000 loan for the Company. On 12 April 2006, Hua Jin Hua Gong made a claim against the Company, SPU and Beida Jade Bird to recover the sum of RMB80,000,000.

Higher People’s Court of Liaoning Province issued the Civil Mediation Agreement (2006) Liao Min San Chu Zi No.43 民事調解書(2006)遼民三初字第43號 in respect of the settlement.

In June 2006, Hua Jin Hua Gong entered into a compromise agreement with the Company, SPU and Beida Jade Bird, pursuant to which (1) the Company was liable to pay off RMB80,000,000 and the interest incurred before 25 November 2006; (2) in the event that the Company was unable to pay off the sum, each of SPUG and Beida Jade Bird would pay one-third of the outstanding balance and the Company shall repay the remaining one-third; and the Company was liable to pay the legal expense of RMB410,000 and the custody fee of RMB401,000.

RMB56,462,000 was sequestrated from the account of Hua Jin respectively in settlement of the RMB29,000,000 loan and the RMB171,000,000 loan payable by the Company. In September 2007, Hua Jin commenced a legal action against the Company, SPU and Beida Jade Bird to recover the sum of RMB56,462,000.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

The statutory financial statement of the Target for the year ended 31 December 2006 had been audited by 廣東羊城會計師事務所有限公司, registered in the PRC whereby the statutory financial statement of the Target for the year ended 31 December 2007 had been audited by 中磊會計師事務所有限公司, registered in the PRC. There is no statutory financial statement have been made up since 31 December 2007.

For the purpose of this report, the directors of the Target have prepared the financial statements of the Target in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the Relevant Periods (the “Underlying Financial Statements”).

We have undertaken an independent audit of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.

The Financial Information of the Target for the Relevant Periods set out in this report has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements for the purpose of preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular. No adjustment was considered necessary to the Underlying Financial Statements in preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular.

We have examined the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” as recommended by the HKICPA.

Respective responsibility of directors and reporting accountants

The directors of the Target are responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements and the Financial Information of the Target which gives a true and fair view. It is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, that the judgments and estimates made are prudent and reasonable and that the reasons for any significant departure from applicable accounting standards are stated.

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2 in the financial information which indicates that the Target reported net current liabilities of approximately RMB11,175,000, RMB7,368,000 and RMB2,605,000 as at 31 December 2006, 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2008 respectively. In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of disclosures made in the financial information concerning he adoption of the going concern basis for the preparation of the Financial Information. As set out in note 2 to the Financial Information, after considering the positive cash flows for future operations, the directors of the Company are satisfied that the Target will have sufficient working capital to meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the next twelve months from 31 August 2009. Accordingly, the Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Financial Information do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure of the Target to operates on going concern basis. We consider that the fundamental uncertainty has been adequately disclosed in the Financial Information and our opinion is not qualified in this respect.

Comparative financial information

The comparative income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flow of the Target for the eight months ended 31 August 2008 together with the notes thereto have been extracted from the Target’s financial information for the same period (the “31 August 2008 Financial Information”), which were prepared by the directors of the Target solely for the purpose of this report. We have reviewed the 31 August 2008 Financial Information in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA.

A review consists principally of making enquiries of the Target’s management and applying analytical procedures to the 31 August 2008 Financial Information and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 30 June 2008 Financial Information.

Review conclusion

On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the 31 August 2008 Financial Information.

These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods and are materially consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Target, unless, otherwise stated.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below:

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and related sales taxes.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and title has been passed.

Rental income is recognised on a straight line bases over the term of leases.

Reimbursement of electricity charges is recognised when the services are provided.

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefit are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period/ year in which the item is derecognised.

– 132 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method, at the following rates per annum:

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 10 – 12 years

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on investment properties over their estimated useful lives and residual value, using the straight-line method over the lease term.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using weighted average cost method.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when the Target becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Financial assets

The Target’s financial assets are mainly loans and receivable. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policy adopted is set out below.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments that are not quoted in an active market. At the end of each reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables and bank balances and cash) carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment loss on financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

– 133 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

For all financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade and other receivable, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Target’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on trade and other receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables and amounts due from related parties, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade and other receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Target are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target after deducting all of its liabilities. The Target’s financial liabilities are mainly other financial liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including trade and other payables and amount due to shareholder are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Target are recorded as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Target has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss. If the Target retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred asset, the Target continues to recognise the financial asset and recognise a collateralised borrowing for proceeds received.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit and loss.

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Target reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period/year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other period/year and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period/ year when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income in the period/ year in which they are incurred.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

Retirement benefits costs

The Target comprising the operating in the PRC participate in the central pension scheme (the “CPS”) operated by the PRC government for all of their staff. The Target is required to contribute a certain percentage of their covered payroll to the CPS to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Target will respect to CPS is to pay the ongoing required contributions under the CPS. Payments to the CPS are charged as expenses as they fall due in accordance with the rules of the CPS.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the Financial Information of Target, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period/year in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period/year except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised directly in equity.

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Target as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINLY

In the application of the Target’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of the Target are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period/year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period/year, or in the period/year of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

– 136 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

Depreciation of plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account their estimated residual value. The Target assesses annually the residual value and the useful life of the plant and equipment and if the expectation differs from the original estimates, such differences from the original estimates will affect the depreciation charges in the year/period in which the estimates change and will be changed in the future period.

Impairment of plant and equipment

The impairment loss for plant and equipment is recognised for the amounts by which the carrying amounts exceeds its recoverable amount, in accordance with the Target’s accounting policy. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The Target tests annually whether plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates such as the future revenue and discount rates, taking into account the existing business expansion plan going forward, the current sales orders on hand and other strategic new business development. No impairment has been provided during the Relevant periods.

Impairment of trade and other receivables

Management regularly reviews the recoverability and age of the trade and other receivables. Appropriate impairment for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when there is objective evidence that the trade and other receivables is impaired.

In determining whether impairment of trade and other receivables is required, the Target takes into consideration the current creditworthiness, the past collection history, age status and likelihood of collection. Impairment is only made for receivables that are unlikely to be collected and is recognised on the difference between the estimated future cash flow expected to receive discounted using the original effective interest rate and its carrying value. If the financial conditions of customers of the Target were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target manages its capital to ensure that the Target will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Target consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Target, comprising paid-up capital and retained earnings. The directors of the Target review the capital structure on a regular basis. As a part of this review, the directors of the Target consider the cost of capital and the associated risks and take appropriate actions to adjust the Target’s capital structure. The overall strategy of the Target remained unchanged during the Relevant Periods.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, bank balances and cash, trade and other payables and amounts due to shareholders. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

– 137 –

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JBMOE

Credit risk

The Target maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the statement of financial position.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because of the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Other then concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks with high credit ratings, the Target does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spreading across of the PRC.

The Target has polices in place to ensure that sale of products or service provided are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Target also performs periodic credit evaluations of it customers and believes that adequate impairment loss on trade and other receivables have been made in the Financial Information.

Interest rate risk

The Target has interest bearing assets which were mainly in the form of bank balances (see Note 18 for details of these balances), but the Target’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Target currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

Foreign currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk that movement in foreign currency rate which will affect the Target’s financial results and its cashflow. The management considers the Target does not expose to significant foreign currency risk as majority of its operations and transactions are denominated in the functional currencies of the Target.

In the opinion of directors of the Target, as the foreign currency risk is minimal, no sensitivity analysis is presented.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the Target’s liquidity risk, the Target monitors and maintains a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents considered adequate by management to finance the Target’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuation in cash flows. Management reviews and monitors its working capital requirements regularly.

The following table details the contractual maturities at the end of reporting period of the Target’s non-derivative financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates) and the earliest date the Target can be required to pay. The tables includes both interest and principal cash flows.

b. Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively;

  • the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instrument.

The directors consider that the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the Financial Information approximate to the corresponding fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturities.

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made in the Financial Information as the Target’s income neither arose in, nor is derived from Hong Kong for the Relevant Periods.

No provision for PRC income tax had been made in the Financial Information as the Target has sufficient taxation losses brought forward for offsetting assessable profits for the Relevant Periods.

The Target enjoyed a reduced tax rate of 15% in year 2006, 15% in year 2007, the transitional tax rates are 18%, 20%,22%,24% and 25% in year 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 onwards, respectively.

The taxation for the Relevant Periods can be reconciled to the profit per the statement of comprehensive income as follows:

During the Period, the sales and the occupation arrangement of the phase two project of Shenyang Real Estate “Water-Flowers City” was completed in early section, with the last stage improvement of construction, completion and inspection and certificate registration are still under progress. Based on the ongoing effort of the Group, the relevant registration of the phase two project of “Water-Flowers City” was finished in September 2008 and the registration of property title certificate was started.

The project “Cosmo International Mansion” in Shenyang is the reconstruction of an incomplete project, with gross floor area of approximately 30,000 square metres. In December 2006, the Higher People’s Court of Liaoning Province held an auction in which the shops in 1-5F and 95 apartments of Cosmo International Mansion were disposed of. The sale proceeds were used to settle the debt of the Company.

The “Scenic Bay” of Beijing Diye has obtained the approval for land requisition and certificate of land approval. However, it was required to sale by listing in the market due to the suspension of the “Green Belt” construction project policy of Beijing Municipal Government. Under the active negotiation of Beijing Diye, the Level 1 Development Qualification of “Scenic Bay” has been obtained.

3. ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION INVESTMENT BUSINESS

The site area of phase one of Shenyang Education Park, a project invested by Shenyang Education, was 128,600 square metres. Shenyang School was officially opened in September 2004 and ended in the fall semester of 2006. Since the number of student was much less than expectation, the Group shut down Shenyang Beida Jade Bird School at the end of 2006 to lower the operation cost. Students at school have been properly accepted by other schools in Shenyang.

Zhuhai School has paid Zhuhai Education a rental fee amounting to RMB4,000,000 during the Year. During the Year, Zhuhai School was honoured City-Level School by Education Bureau of Zhuhai. The students of Zhuhai School amounted to approximately 600 at present.

During the Period, the commencement of the project construction of Shanghai Beida Education Science Park (“Shanghai Education Park”) invested by Shanghai Education was delayed as a result of the Shanghai Municipal Government’s adjustment to the land use policy of substantial projects. Shanghai Education actively negotiated with Shanghai Municipal Government about the change of the land. The parties, however, did not reach an agreement on conditions such as the price of land and planning, and the change of the land did not work out.

During the Year, Xili Cemetery realized rental income of approximately RMB1,521,000.

Since the number of student was much less than expectation, the Group shut down Shenyang Beida Jade Bird School at the end of 2006 to lower the operation cost. Students at school have been properly accepted by other schools in Shenyang.

The increase in net profits was primarily due to the decrease in administrative expenses for the Review Period.

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Resources

Credit Risk

JBMOE’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the statement of financial position in Appendix II of this circular.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because of the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Other then concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks with high credit ratings, JBMOE does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spreading across of the PRC.

JBMOE has polices in place to ensure that sale of products or service provided are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. JBMOE also performs periodic credit evaluations of it customers and believes that adequate impairment loss on trade and other receivables have been made.

Liquidity risk

In the management of JBMOE’s liquidity risk, JBMOE monitors and maintains a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents considered adequate by management to finance the JBMOE’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuation in cash flows. Management reviews and monitors its working capital requirements regularly.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

Set out below is the text of the letter, summary of values and valuation certificates received from Malcolm & Associates Appraisal Limited, an independent property valuer, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this Circular, in connection with its valuations as at 30 November 2009 of the properties located in the PRC.

==> picture [211 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

28 December 2009

The Directors Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited 14/F, Jin Mao International Apartment, No.1 Xiao Dong Road, Da Dong District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, The People’s Republic of China

Dear Sirs,

  • Re: Valuations of various properties located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (the “Properties”)

1. INSTRUCTIONS

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the Properties occupied, to be disposed of and to be acquired by Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and/ or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”) located in the PRC, we confirm that we have performed 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 November 2009 (the “date of valuation”).

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuations of the concerned properties have been based on the Market Value, which is defined as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

– 214 –

APPENDIX VI

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

3. PROPERTY CATEGORIZATION

In the course of our valuations, the portfolio of the Properties is categorized into the following groups:

Group I – Property occupied by the Group in the PRC

Group II – Property to be disposed of by the Group in the PRC

Group III – Properties to be acquired by the Group in the PRC

4. VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

In valuing Property No. 1, we have adopted the Depreciated Replacement Cost Approach. This approach requires an estimate of the market value of the land parcel in the existing state by the comparison approach and an estimate of the new replacement cost of the buildings and other site works, from which deductions are then made to allow for the age, condition, economic or functional obsolescence and environmental factors etc; all of these might result in the existing property being worth less than a new replacement. This basis has been used due to the lack of an established market upon which to base comparable transactions. However, this approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for assets without a known used market.

We cannot attribute any commercial value to Property No. 2 due to the legal title of the property being held and administered by the government.

In valuing Property Nos. 3 and 4, we have valued them on an open market basis by the Comparison Approach assuming sales in the existing states with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant markets. Whenever applicable, we have also adopted the Investment Approach where appropriate by taking into account the current rents passing of the constituent units of the Properties being held under existing tenancies and the reversionary potential of the tenancies if they have been or would be let to tenants.

5. TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with copies of title/ legal documents relating to the Properties. We have not, however, searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendments, which do not appear on the copies handed to us. Therefore, in the course of our valuations, we have relied on the advice and information given by the Group and its PRC legal adviser, Kai Wen Law Firm (凱文律師事務所) regarding the title of the Properties. All documents have been used for reference only.

In valuing the Properties, we have relied on the advice given by the Group and its PRC legal adviser that the Group and the owners of the corresponding properties have valid and enforceable titles to the corresponding properties which are freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted rights 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.

6. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the Properties are sold in the open market without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the values of the Properties.

In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sales of the properties and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuations.

7. VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

We have inspected the exterior and wherever possible, the interior of the Properties. However, no structural surveys have been made nor have any tests been carried out on any of the services provided in the Properties. In the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, therefore, able to report that the Properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects.

In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us by the Group in such matters as approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenures, completion dates of buildings, particulars of occupancy, site/ floor areas, identification of the Properties and all other relevant matters.

Except 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.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not been able to carry out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site/floor areas in respect of the Properties but have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. The Group has also advised us that no material facts have been omitted from the information so supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information for us to reach an informed view.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties or for any expenses or taxation, which may be incurred in effecting a sale or purchase.

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.
