According to the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendors have conditionally agreed to sell and the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company, who will assume the entire Shareholders’ Loan due to the Vendors, will also become the sole shareholder of the Target Company.

Acquisition Consideration

The Acquisition Consideration of RMB310 million was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations among the parties to the Acquisition Agreement and was determined after taking into account of i) the entire issued share capital of the Target Company; ii) the Shareholders’ Loan provided by the Vendors originally for the purpose of the injection of working capital to the Target Company; and iii) the fair value of Sale Share; the values of which have been confirmed by (a) an accountant’s report for the three months ended 31 March 2011 on the Target Company prepared by an independent auditor appointed by the Company; and (b) a valuation report on the Target Company as at 30 April 2011 prepared by a qualified independent valuer appointed by the Company.

In arriving at the Acquisition Consideration, the Board also considered with reference to other intrinsic factors, such as the recovery capability of capital, the Target Company’s capability to generate further future economic cash flows from the Project and the profit guarantee provided by the Vendors. As such, the Target Company has the potential to generate future profits to the Group while the downside is protected by the profit guarantee. Therefore, the Board considers that the Acquisition Consideration of RMB310 million is fair and reasonable.

Originally, the Acquisition Consideration shall be satisfied in the following manners:–

  • (a) a refundable deposit of RMB20 million shall be paid by the Company to each of the Vendors in seven days upon signing the Acquisition Agreement, totalling RMB40 million to be paid by the Company in cash;

  • (b) upon fulfilling items (i) and (iv) of the Vendors’ Guarantees, the Company shall, after deducting a retained fund amounted to RMB10 million, settle the balance of the Acquisition Consideration; and

  • (c) the retained fund shall be settled by the Company according to the terms of the Vendors’ Guarantees.

The Vendors shall compensate the difference, if any, provided that the Target Company fails to achieve the aforesaid net profit.

  • iv. in 90 days commencing from the Effective Day, the Company will obtain the registration of change of business and become the sole shareholder in the shareholders’ list;

  • v. a retained fund amounted to RMB10 million, as part of the Acquisition Consideration, will be retained by the Company before all the above guarantee conditions being fulfilled;

  • vi. the Vendors shall bear all the costs during the procedures of fulfilling items (i); (ii) and (iv) of the Vendors’ Guarantees; and

  • vii. other custom clauses of warranties.

Therefore, the actual net profit is to be determined by the audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2011. Auditors appointed by the Company will be responsible for auditing the result of the Target Company.

The necessary permits have been applied form relevant governmental authorities and regulatory bodies. The construction approval has been obtained on 30 August 2011, while the other required licenses are expected to be obtained by the end of September 2011. At present, the Directors are not aware of any foreseeable obstacles in obtaining the licenses. Nevertheless, the Directors cannot assure the required construction permits can be obtained in a timely manner.

The construction of the project is subject to the regulations of 地方建設行政主 管部門 (Local Construction Administration Department). Any failure to comply with the regulations resulted from the construction may subject to government measures and penalties. Since ZhongFang has started the construction before obtaining the required permissions from the respective authority for the Project, there is a risk that ZhongFang would subject to a penalty which will be determined by Local Construction Administration Department. In this regard, the penalty would be a maximum fine of RMB30,000 and cessation of Project of which the development of the Project may be adversely disrupted or even, in the worst scenario, may not be completed at all.

In view of the potential risks, the Supplemental Acquisition Agreement has been entered between the Company and the Vendors would contains provisions which could allow the Company to claim for any additional costs or losses should the Company fail to complete the Project as a result of the delay in obtaining the required construction permits for the Project.

4. Expected and actual timetable

According to the management of the Target Company, The Project was started with land relocation carried out by Chaozhou Jinshan in March 2010 in which the Land was to be acquired from the original land owners for further development. Due to the delay in progress of land relocation, Chaozhou Jinshan handed over a portion of relocated Land to the Target Company in late November 2010. The construction of the Project was started by the Target Company in December 2010. As such, no revenue was generated from the Project in the financial year ending 2010.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In phrase I of the Project, Chaozhou Jinshan has handed over a part of Land with total area of 1,500 mu to the Target Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, works including demolition, relocation and 70% of road building have been completed. Due to the effect of unpleasant weather on the construction since May 2011, the construction has also been interrupted occasionally which in turn delayed the construction of the sewage system. The construction on phrase I is targeted to be finished by November 2011. A total amount of cashflow including the prepaid land development cost and construction cost of approximately RMB350 million plus the premium of 18% is expected to be paid to the Target Company by Chaozhou Jinshan within 30 days after the hand over requirements have been met and verified by Chaozhou Jinshan and the Authorizers. The revenue generated from phrase I is expected to be recorded in financial accounts of the Target Company for the year ending 2011. Phrase II of the Project will be started upon the cashflow generated from phrase I is received by the Target Company.

According to the Cooperation Agreement, the stage of completion of the Project must be inspected and verified by Chaozhou Jinshan and the Authorizers which assigned by the County Government. As at 31 March 2011, since the project had yet to verified and approved, no revenue was recognized during the period. The Target Company would only commence to recognize revenue according to its stage of completion once the project could properly pass through the verification and authorization procedure by Chaozhou Jinshan and the designated Authorizers.

5. Costs and the financing plan

It is estimated that the total investment of the Project will be approximately RMB945 million, which involve the fee for land demolition and relocation compensation (involving tax) and the construction costs incurred during the construction stage.

Given the fact that the Project is a staged development instead of a one-off development, the entire development costs are not invested up front at the time of the initial funding. Instead, a portion is initially invested and the remaining amount is invested over time based on the construction schedule of the Project. As of 30 June 2011, the total investment to phrase I was approximately RMB320 million whereby the expected total costs for phrase I is approximately RMB350 million. The outstanding costs of approximately RMB595 million for phrase II and phrase III will be funded by the proceeds generated from each phrase of the Project and the prepayment of construction costs made by the Contractors.

Since the completed portion of Land will be handed over to Chaozhou Jinshan according to the construction schedule, ZhongFang is expected to receive regularly an amount including the prepaid land development cost and the construction cost plus premium of 18% in this regard. The total cash flow received from each stage of the Project will be re-invested into next stage of the Project in which the outstanding development costs incurred in the next stage will be settled accordingly.

In order not to pose any eminent pressure on the Group’s cash flow and capital commitment, the Target Company will also have the option to request the Contractors to fund partial construction costs for the Project. Pursuant to the Subcontract Agreements entered by the Contractors and the Target Company, the

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Contractors will be responsible for funding up to a maximum of 70% of the total construction costs incurred in the Project. The Contractors would be paid in accordance with the agreed payment schedule by the proceeds generated from each stage the Project. The selected Contractors are well-established with sound financial position which would probably provide extensive supports for the Target Company to construct and develop the Project.

In view of such financing arrangements, the current cash position of the Target Company shall be sufficient for the entire development of the Project. Therefore, no further significant capital requirement is needed for completion of the Project.

Risk Relating to the Project

ZhongFang’s constructions on the Land are subject to the regulations of 地方 建設行政主管部門 (Local Construction Administration Department). Any failure to comply the regulations resulted from the construction may subject to government measures and penalties. Since ZhongFang has started the construction before obtaining the required permissions from the respective authority for the Project.

AUDIT TAX BUSINESS ADVISORY

23th September 2011

The Board of Directors Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited 14/F, Jinmao International Apartment, Da Dong District, Shenyang, The People’s Republic of China

Dear Sirs,

We set out below our report on the financial information (the “Financial Information”) regarding Zhongfang Chaozhou Investment Development Company Limited (“中房潮州投資開發有限公司”) (the “ZhongFang”) for the period from 10 October 2009 (date of establishment) to 31 December 2009, twelve months ended 31 December 2010 and three months ended 31 March 2011 (the ‘‘Relevant Periods’’) for inclusion in a circular dated 23 September 2011 (the ‘‘Circular’’) issued by Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with its proposed acquisition of the entire equity interest in ZhongFang.

ZhongFang was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with limited liability on 10 October 2009. It is principally engaged in real estate investment and development, civil construction engineering, construction, municipal construction, road and bridge construction and sales of building materials in the PRC.

The statutory financial statements of ZhongFang for the period from 10 October 2009 (date of establishment) to 31 December 2009 and twelve months ended 31 December 2010 were audited by Chaozhou Shengde Certified Public Accountants Company Limited (“潮州盛德會計師事務所”), Certified Public Accountants in the PRC. The statutory financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and financial regulations applicable to enterprises established in the PRC.

For the purpose of this report, the directors of ZhongFang have prepared the financial statements of ZhongFang for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’) (the “Underlying Financial Statements”). We have undertaken an independent audit on the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and examined the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 ‘‘Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant’’ as recommended by the HKICPA.

– II-1 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The Financial Information of ZhongFang for the Relevant Periods set out in this report has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements. No adjustments are considered necessary to adjust the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods for the preparation of the Financial Information.

The Underlying Financial Statements are the responsibility of the directors of ZhongFang, who approved their issue. The directors of the Company are also responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included. It is our responsibility to compile the Financial Information set out in this report from the Underlying Financial Statements, to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.

OPINION

In our opinion, the Financial Information together with the notes thereto gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of ZhongFang as at 31 December 2009, 31 December 2010 and at 31 March 2011 and of the results and cash flows of ZhongFang for each of the Relevant Periods.

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The comparative statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows of ZhongFang for the three months ended 31 March 2009 together with the notes thereon have been extracted from the unaudited financial statements of ZhongFang for the same period (the ‘‘31 March 2009 Financial Information’’) which was prepared by the director of ZhongFang solely for the purpose of this report. We have reviewed 31 March 2009 Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ issued by the HKICPA. Our review of 31 March 2009 Financial Information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on 31 March 2009 Financial Information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the 31 March 2009 Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Financial Information which conform with HKFRS.

– II-2 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

EMPHASIS OF MATTER

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 19 to the Financial Information. During the Relevant Periods, ZhongFang was solely worked for the project of Jing Nam Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”). ZhongFang has started the construction before obtaining a construction permission from the respective authority for the project of Jing Nam Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”). As a result, there is a risk that both of the developer and construction entity would subject to a penalty which will be determined by Local Construction Administration Department (“地方建設行政主管部門”). If ZhongFang is considered as a construction entity in Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project, the penalty would be cessation of Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project and a maximum fine of RMB10,000.

If ZhongFang is considered as a developer in Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project, the penalty would be cessation of Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project and a fine of 1% to 2% of construction contract amount or a maximum fine of RMB30,000.

The directors of the Company are of the opinion that, an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation is remote as the Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project is worked for a government, and no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the Financial Information.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

ZhongFang was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on 10 October 2009 with limited liability. The registered office and principal place of business of ZhongFang is the right side of entrance hall of Park Aministrative Committee Building North east of Chaozhou avenue, Chaozhou GuangDong province. It is principally engaged in real estate investment and development, civil construction engineering, construction, municipal construction, road and bridge construction and sale of building materials in the PRC.

The Financial Information is prepared in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is as same as the functional currency of ZhongFang.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSS”)

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial information for the Relevant Periods, the ZhongFang has consistently applied HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS(s)”) amendments and interpretations (“INT(s)”) issued by the HKICPA that are effective for annual accounting periods which are effective for annual accounting periods throughout the Relevant Periods.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs which are effective during the Relevant Periods. For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information, the Business has applied all these new and revised HKFRSs throughout the Relevant Periods. HKFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards” has been applied in preparing Financial Information.

ZhongFang has not early applied the following new or revised standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as revised in November 2010) adds requirements for financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Under HKFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent

– II-9 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The directors of the Company anticipate that HKFRS 9 that will be adopted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the new standard will have a significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

3.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from individual construction contracts is recognised under the percentage of completion method.

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.

Property, plant and equipment

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

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for a prospective basis.

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

– II-10 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Inventories

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

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 added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

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

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes, state-managed retirement benefit schemes and the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

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 profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. ZhongFang’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from 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 associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where ZhongFang 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. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

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

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which ZhongFang expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

– II-11 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Construction contracts

Contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period when they are incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably and it is probable that the contract will be profitable, contract revenue is recognised over the period of the contract. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured. ZhongFang uses the “percentage of completion method” to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to contract costs incurred up to the balance sheet date as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. They are presented as inventories, prepayments or other assets, depending on their nature.

ZhongFang presents as an asset the gross amount due from customers for contract work for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings. Progress billings not yet paid by customers and retentions are included within trade and other receivables.

ZhongFang presents as a liability the gross amount due to customers for contract work for all contracts in progress for which progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognised losses).

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when a Company entity 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

ZhongFang’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables.

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 reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including other receivables and bank balances) 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).

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 to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on effective interest basis for the debt instruments.

– II-12 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

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.

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

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

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

  • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

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

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s 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, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment 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 a Company entity are classified in accordance 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. ZhongFang’s financial liabilities are generally classified into 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 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 expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

– II-13 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including trade and other payables and amounts due to shareholders are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by ZhongFang 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 ZhongFang has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. If ZhongFang neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, ZhongFang recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If ZhongFang retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, ZhongFang continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income 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.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when ZhongFang has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of ZhongFang’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the directors of ZhongFang 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 in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The followings are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the 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.

– II-14 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

ZhongFang depreciates the property, plant and equipment on a straight line basis ranging from 19%, after taking into account of their estimated residual values, commencing from the date the asset is placed into productive use. The estimated useful life represents the number of years which ZhongFang places the property, plant and equipment into production, reflecting the directors’ estimate of the years that ZhongFang intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of ZhongFang’s property, plant and equipment. ZhongFang assesses annually the residual value and the useful life of the property, plant and equipment. 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, plant and equipment

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

Estimated impairment of prepayments and other receivables

The directors of ZhongFang regularly review the recoverability and the aging of other receivables.

Appropriate impairment for estimated irrecoverable amounts is recognised in the consolidated income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

In determining whether impairment loss of prepayments and other receivables is required, ZhongFang 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 ZhongFang were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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

The capital structure of ZhongFang consists of debt, which includes amounts due to shareholders disclosed in Note 15, bank balances and cash and equity attributable to owners of ZhongFang, comprising issued share capital and reserves as disclosed in Note 17 and reserves as disclosed in the statement of changes in equity. The directors of ZhongFang review the capital structure regularly. As a part of this review, the directors of ZhongFang consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on the recommendations of the directors of ZhongFang, ZhongFang will balance its overall capital structure through the new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

ZhongFang’s major financial instruments include other receivables, bank balances and cash, amounts due to shareholders and trade and other payables. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The directors of ZhongFang manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

– II-15 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Market risk

(i) Currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk associated with movements in foreign currency rates which will affect ZhongFang’s financial results and its cash flow. The directors of ZhongFang consider ZhongFang is 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 ZhongFang, as the currency risk is minimal, no sensitivity analysis is presented.

  • (ii) Interest rate risk

ZhongFang is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk mainly in relation to variable-rate bank balances as detailed in Note 14 and other borrowings as detailed in Note 15. It is ZhongFang’s policy to keep its other borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk.

ZhongFang’s exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk section of this note. ZhongFang’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the base rate of People’s Bank of China arising from ZhongFang’s bank balances and other borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments.

The analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole year. A 100 basis points 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 directors’ assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, ZhongFang’s other borrowing cost for the three months ended 31 March 2011 would increase or decrease by RMB2,136,200, RMB5,595,000 (31 December 2011), RMB260,200 (31 March 2010).

Credit risk

ZhongFang’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to ZhongFang due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets, mainly other receivables and bank balances, as stated in the statement of financial position.

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

ZhongFang’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is mainly in PRC.

The management of ZhongFang considered that at the end of the reporting period, no significant concentration of credit risk of the other receivables were due from ZhongFang Relevant Periods.

ZhongFang has concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks with high credit ratings.

Liquidity risk

The following table details ZhongFang’s remaining contractual maturity for its 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 ZhongFang can be required to pay.

– II-16 –

Fair value

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.

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

19. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

During the Relevant Periods, ZhongFang was solely worked for the project of Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南 分園”). ZhongFang has started the construction before obtaining a construction permission from the respective authority for the project of Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”). As a result, there is a risk that both of the developer and construction entity would subject to a penalty which will be determined by Local Construction Administration Department (“地方建設行政主管部門”). If ZhongFang is considered as a construction entity in Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project, the penalty would be cessation of Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project and a maximum fine of RMB10,000.

If ZhongFang is considered as a developer in Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project, the penalty would be cessation of Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project and a fine of 1% to 2% of construction contract amount or a maximum fine of RMB30,000.

The directors of the Company are of the opinion that, an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation is remote as the Jing Nan Fen Yuan (“徑南分園”) project is worked for a government, and no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the Financial Information.

– II-27 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Credit Risk

The prepayments and other receivables of the Target Company are mainly consisted of the prepayments on land relocation compensation fee and the construction cost. The prepayments shall pay back to Target Company by Chaozhou Jinshan upon the Project is completed. Since the County Government is the ultimate owner of the Project, who wholly owns Chaozhou Jinshan, the Credit risk arising from the default of payment is relative minor.

Market risk

  • (i) Currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk associated with movements in foreign currency rates which will affect ZhongFang’s financial results and its cash flow. The directors of ZhongFang consider ZhongFang is 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.

(ii) Interest rate risk

ZhongFang’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the base rate of People’s Bank of China arising from ZhongFang’s bank balances and other borrowings. It is ZhongFang’s policy to keep its other borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk.

Significant Investments, Acquisitions and Disposals

As at 31 March 2011, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009, ZhongFang has not entered into any substantial acquisition, investments or substantial disposal.

Segment Information

As at 31 March 2011, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009, ZhongFang had only one business segment, which was in real estate investment and development, civil engineering construction, no separate disclosure of segmental revenues and results and segment assets and liabilities would be made.

Pledge Asset

As at 31 March 2011, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009, ZhongFang did not have any pledged assets.

Contingent Liabilities

Since October 2009, ZhongFang was solely worked for the Project. ZhongFang has started the construction before obtaining required construction permissions from the respective authority for the Project. As a result, there is a risk that both of the developer

– II-28 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

and construction entity would subject to a penalty which will be determined by Local Construction Administration Department (“地方建設行政主管部門”). If ZhongFang is considered as a construction entity in the Project, the penalty would be cessation of Project and a maximum fine of RMB10,000.

If ZhongFang is considered as a developer in the Project, the penalty would be cessation of the Project and a fine of 1% to 2% of construction contract amount or a maximum fine of RMB30,000.

The Directors are of the opinion that, an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation is remote as the Project is worked for a government, and no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the Financial Information.

Employees and Remuneration Policy

As at 31 March 2011, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009, the employees of ZhongFang were 28, 28 and 14 with labor cost expenditure of RMB322,770, RMB806,430 and RMB78,767 respectively. ZhongFang should participate in the central pension scheme (the “CPS”) operated by the PRC government for all of their staff. But the retirement scheme contribution was borne by another company during the relevant periods. As the staffs have signed a confirmation agreement for not paying contribution in ZhongFang, the directors of the Company are of the option that no provision for any liability. The retirement scheme contribution would be borne by Zhong Fang, wouldn’t borne by any company in the future. It would increase labor cost expenditure of around RMB20,000 per month.

Directors’ Emoluments

The directors of the Company considered that if they do not participate in the management of the daily operation of the Target Company, their directors’ remuneration would not be significant in future.

Directors of the Target Company participate in the management of the Target Company at the board level only and play roles of overall strategic planning and development of the Target Company. The daily operations of the Target Company are executed by a management team designated by the board of the Target Company. The management team includes an operating manager, a deputy manager and a financial controller. The four directors are expected to be retained by the Company within six months to one year after the Acquisition is completed in order to ensure a smooth hand over of the Target Company during the transitional period. If the four directors are retained by the Company after the transitional period, they will entitled to fix remunerations which are determined based on their duties and responsibilities with the Target Company, the prevailing market rate and the remuneration policy of the Company.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Future Investment Plan and Funding Arrangements

As at the Latest Practicable Date, ZhongFang does not have any future investment plan. As such, no funding arrangement is required.

Gearing Ratio

The gearing ratios (calculated as total liabilities/total assets) of ZhongFang as at 31 March 2011, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009 were approximately 72.85%, 66.62% and 97.74% respectively.

Review and Prospects of ZhongFang

ZhongFang is a limited company incorporated in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, the PRC on 29 October 2009 and is principally engaged in property development and construction. Currently, the major project of the ZhongFang in progress is a land development project in Chaozhou, with a total area of 4,500 mu.

The land development project was initially approved by the Guangdong government to build an industrial zone where complete facilities are built and high standard of management are provided by the developer. The Project targets to attract industrial operators who need to be relocated from the already crowded and over-demanded Pearl River Delta area.

ZhongFang recorded no turnover and net loss from its operation during the three years ended 31 December 2010. Since the land development project undertaken by ZhongFang is still in its early stage profit from this project will only be generated once the construction is completed. Given by the strong support from the local government in Chaozhou, the Company believes the supports from the local government are important and helpful in completing the Project. It is expected that the future profitability of the ZhongFang shall be promising.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Notes:

  1. The financial information of the Group is extracted from the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2010 issued on 22 March 2011.

  2. The audited statement of financial position of ZhongFang is extracted from the accountant’s report thereon as set out in Appendix II to the Circular.

  3. On 11 May 2011, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with Tianjin Zhongfang Yongyang Property Company Limited and Shenzhen Zhongfang Chuangzhan Investment Group Company Limited (collectively known as the “Vendors”) to acquire entire issued share capital of ZhongFang for a total consideration of RMB310 million.

The consideration would be satisfied by bank balances and cash.

The adjustment reflects the acquisition of 100% equity interests of ZhongFang as if such acquisition had taken place on 31 December 2010, as follows:

Fair value of the consideration on 31 December 2010
Consideration settled by cash
Less: Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired
Net assets of ZhongFang as at 31 March 2011
Amounts due to shareholders
Accrual interests due to shareholders

(7,731)
RMB’000

The identifiable assets and liabilities of ZhongFang will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Group at fair value under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (“HKFRS 3 (Revised)”).

For the purpose of determining goodwill arising from the acquisition transactions in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the carrying values of ZhongFang are recorded in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information at their fair values as if the acquisition was completed on 31 December 2010.

The Directors have reviewed the pro forma fair values of the goodwill of the Enlarged Group in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets” (“HKAS 36”). The Directors estimate that the recoverable amount of the Target Company (being considered as a single cash-generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated) is higher than the carrying amount of the unit including goodwill and hence, are of their opinion that there is no indication that the pro forma fair values of the goodwill of the Enlarged Group may be impaired at the date of preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. The basis of the recoverable amounts of the above cash generating units and their major underlying assumptions are summarized below:

The recoverable amount has been determined based on discounted cash flow method. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a three year period, and discount rate of 10%. For other key assumptions, please refer to Appendix IV to this Circular.

– III-6 –

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

In accordance with HKAS 36, the Directors of the Company will assess at the end of each reporting period ending after the completion date to determine as to whether there is any indication that the goodwill of the Enlarged Group may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Directors of the Company will estimate the recoverable amount of the goodwill. An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its recoverable amount. In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Directors of the Company will adopt consistent accounting policies, principal assumptions and valuation methods as used in this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information to assess the recoverable amount of the goodwill. The auditors of the Company will examine the assessment whether there is any indication that the goodwill of the Enlarged Group may be impaired, and if such indication exists, the auditors will examine the recoverable amount of the goodwill estimated by the Company in accordance with HKAS 36 during their audit on the consolidated financial statements for any financial period ending after the completion date.

The fair value of net assets of ZhongFang acquired in the above acquisition as at 31 December 2010 is as follows as if the proposed acquisition was completed on 31 December 2010:

Property, plant and equipment
Inventories
Prepayments and other receivables
Bank balances and cash
Amounts due to shareholders

– IV-1 –

APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

BASIS OF VALUATION

We have valued the 100% equity interest of Zhongfang Chaozhou on the fair value.

Fair Value

Fair value is the estimated amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Zhongfang Chaozhou is a limited company incorporated in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, PRC on 29 October 2009 and is principally engaged in property development and construction.

We understand that Shenyang Public Utility propose to acquire 100 % equity interest of Zhongfang Chaozhou. We also understand that Zhongfang Chaozhou has entered into a build-transfer (“BT”) agreement with Chaozhou Jinshan Investment and Development Co., Ltd (潮州市金山投資開發有限公司) (“Jinshan”) in respect of the construction of the infrastructure of a science park. The science park is located in industrial zone, namely Jing Nan Fen Yuan, with a total estimated construction area 4,500 mu land. The estimated construction period is 3 years.

Pursuant to the BT agreement, Zhongfang Chaozhou is responsible for the financing of BT project and other related land acquisition and construction costs while the construction of infrastructure is subcontracted to subcontractors named Jiangsu Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd (江蘇省建工集團有限公司) and Pan-China Construction Group (Shenzhen branch) (泛華建設集團有限公司深圳建設分公司). Upon the completion of BT project, the Target Company transfer BT Project to Jinshan at a premium 18% on the total of land development cost and construction costs.

SCOPE OF WORKS

Our investigation included the discussions with the management of the Company and Zhongfang Chaozhou (the “Management”) to understand the transaction background and the business operations of Zhongfang Chaozhou.

We reviewed the management accounts and financial projection (the “Projection”) of Zhongfang Chaozhou provided by the Management without further verification and assumed these data we obtained from the Management during the course of valuation are true and accurate. We also assumed that the Projection provided by the Management was prepared with due care. We do not assume any responsibility for and make no representations with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Management.

Excluded from the investigation are all inventories and all other tangible assets of a current nature or any intangible assets that might exist.

– IV-2 –

APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

We considered that the income approach, a commonly accepted approach to value the business enterprise value of Zhongfang Chaozhou, to be appropriate for this exercise. In particular, we have adopted Discounted Cash Flow Method (“DCF”) as the primary method.

Under the DCF method, the value depends on the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the enterprise. Thus, an indication of the equity value is calculated as the present value of the future free cash flow of Zhongfang Chaozhou less outstanding interest-bearing debt, if any. The future cash flow is discounted at the market-derived rate of return appropriate for the risks and hazards of investing in a similar business.

A major requirement of the discounted cash flow approach is an earnings forecast, in particular a cash flow projection, which was provided by the Management. Since the BT project was assumed to have a definite life (i.e. will cease upon completion of construction), no terminal value was calculated.

The fair value of Zhongfang Chaozhou was then calculated by adding the present values of the projected yearly free cash flow in the projection period. The present values were derived by discounting the free cash flow by a discount rate that was appropriate for the risk of investing in the project.

While the DCF method gives an indicative business enterprise value (“BEV”) as a whole, the equity value is derived from BEV after adjustment of interest bearing debt, lack of marketability discount (“LoMD”) and excess assets/liabilities.

The concept of marketability deals with the liquidity of ownership interest, that is, how quickly and easily it can be converted into cash if the owner chooses to sell. The lack of marketability discount reflects the fact that there is no ready market for shares in a closely held corporation. Ownership interests in closely held companies are typically not readily marketable compared to similar interests in public companies. Therefore, a share of stock in a privately held company is usually worth less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly held company. In this appraisal, LoMD as of the Valuation Date was estimated to be 10%.

MAJOR ASSUMPTION OF BUSINESS ENTERPRISE VALUATION

Before arriving at our opinion of value, we have considered the following principal factors:

  • Zhongfang Chaozhou will be operated with the corporate structure and operation model as projected by the Management;

  • The financial and operating results of Zhongfang Chaozhou;

– IV-3 –

APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  • The economic outlook in general and the specific economic and competitive elements affecting Zhongfang Chaozhou’s businesses, its industry and its market;

  • The nature and prospects of the industry of Zhongfang Chaozhou is operating;

  • The market-derived investment returns of entities engaged in a similar line of business and returns from other similar types of business;

  • The stage of development of Zhongfang Chaozhou operation; and

  • The business risks of Zhongfang Chaozhou consist of default risk, legislation risk and economy risk, those risks are defined as follow:

  • (i) Default risk – the customer and sub-contractor have the possibility to default the contract. In that case, the delivery of the project or the collection of income, i.e. the forecasted cash flows, will not be fully or timely realized.

  • (ii) Legislation risk – the construction is operated under the law of PRC and permission of county government. If any laws or regulations ruling the real estate market changes, the operation of the Target Company might be impacted, leading to unexpected operating and financial results.

  • (iii) Economy risk: The future of the target company is closely related to the economic environment of PRC. If the overall economy development of PRC is materially different from Management’s expectation, the financial forecast might not be realized.

Due to the changing environment in which Zhongfang Chaozhou is operating, a number of assumptions have to be established in order to sufficiently support our valuation of the 100% equity interest. The major assumptions adopted in this appraisal are:

  • There will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal and economic conditions in China;

  • There will be no major changes in the current taxation law in China, that the rates of tax payable remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;

  • Exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently prevailing;

  • The Projection has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting estimates (i.e. assumptions and parameters adopted in the financial projection, such as

– IV-4 –

APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

land development cost, construction cost, profit margins, and related operating expense) which have been arrived at after due and careful consideration by the Management;

  • The availability of finance will not be a constraint on the forecast growth of Zhongfang Chaozhou’s operation in accordance with the Projection;

  • Zhongfang Chaozhou will retain and have competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to support its ongoing operation; and

  • Industry trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate significantly from economic forecasts including but not limit to market relative factors adopted in the discount rate.

PROJECTION ASSUMPTION

We adopted income approach for valuation of equity interest of Zhongfang Chaozhou, our valuation has been performed based on a set of financial projections provided by the management of the Company. The key assumptions in the projection are summarized as below:

  • (a) According to the build-transfer (“BT”) agreement between the Zhongfang Chaozhou and Chaozhou Jinshan Investment and Development Co. Ltd (“Chaozhou Jinshan”), the expected development area is 4,500 mu.

  • (b) As per management’s experience of Zhongfang Chaozhou, the development period is estimated to be completed at July 2012.

  • (c) According to the BT agreement, the expected return of this BT project is 18% of total land development cost and construction cost.

  • (d) As per management’s experience and reference to the BT agreement, the land development cost is estimated to be RMB80,000 per mu, the construction cost is estimated to be RMB130,000 per mu.

  • (e) As refer to historical figure and management’s representation, the operation costs include tax expense and the administration expense, which is approximately RMB940,000 per year.

DETERMINATION OF DISCOUNT RATE

In instances where we have applied the Income Approach to value the equity interest, it is necessary to determine an appropriate discount rate at which to discount the future expected cash flows relating to the business enterprises. The starting point for establishing an appropriate discount rate for the business enterprise value is the cost of capital for the entire business. The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) represents the weighted average return attributable to all of the capital of the business.

– IV-5 –

APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The WACC represents the weighted average return attributable to all of the capital of the business. We have analyzed a group of comparable companies as set out in our report.

WACC is computed with the below formula:

WACC = Ke * (Eq/IC) + Kd * (D/IC)

Where: Ke = Cost of equity = Eq Equity IC = Invested capital (equity plus all interest bearing debt) Kd = Tax adjusted cost of debt D = Debt

We have employed the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) to derive a cost of equity, which includes the components of beta 0.95, market risk premium in China 7.35%, China’s risk-free rate 4.33% based on yield of China government bond and debt-to-equity ratio of comparable companies 54.1% that sourced from Bloomberg, in which the equity-to-invested capital ratio and debt-to-invested capital ratio is approximately 65% and 35% respectively. We have included a small size premium and a specific risk premium (1%) in estimating the cost of equity, due to the relative size of Zhongfang Chaozhou and its uncertainty on future profitability of business. Based on the above CAPM, the overall cost of equity is estimated to be approximately 12.3%.

Following is the CAPM formula for derivation of Ke:

CAPM – Cost of Equity

Ke = Rrf + MRP x Beta Where: Ke = cost of equity Rrf = risk-free rate MRP = market risk premium, which is the return the market portfolio is expected to generate in excess of the risk-free rate Beta = the “beta coefficient” that measures the relative risk of the asset being valued as compared to the risk of the market portfolio. It is computed by regressing returns on a comparable security on returns for the market index. It is a measure of the systematic risk of the asset.

Pre-tax cost of debt has been estimated based on the interest rate in Mainland China of 6.4% as of the Valuation Date. For determining the after-tax cost of debt, a tax rate of 25% for the assessment of the tax shield was taken into consideration. This resulted in an after-tax cost of debt of 4.8%. The required rates of return on equity and debt determined as illustrated above have been weighted according to the industry average capital structure based on our comparable company analysis. Based on the calculations above, we have estimated the post-tax nominal WACC of Zhongfang Chaozhou to be approximately 10%.

APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Selection of Comparable Companies

Even if the events anticipated occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Underlying Forecast and the variation may be material. The Directors are responsible for the reasonableness and validity of the assumptions.

It is our responsibility to form an opinion, based on our work on the Underlying Forecast and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, solely for the purpose of reporting under Rule 14.62 of Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and for no other purpose.

The Directors

Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited

14/F, Jin Mao International Apartment No. 1 Xiao Dong Road Dadong District, Shenyang City Liaoning Province The People’s Republic of China

Dear Sirs,

INSTRUCTIONS

We refer to the instructions from Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the property to be disposed of by the Company and/or its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). We confirm that we have performed an inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property as at 30 June 2011 (the “date of valuation”).

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation of the concerned property has 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”.

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY HELD BY THE DISPOSAL COMPANY

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In the course of our valuation, we have adopted the Investment Approach by taking into account the current passing rents of the property being held under existing tenancies and the reversionary potential of the tenancies if it has been or would be let to tenants.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with copies of title documents/tenancy agreements and have been advised by the Group that no further relevant documents have been produced. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment documents, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied upon the advice and information given by the Group’s PRC legal advisor – Kaiwen Law Firm (北京市凱文律師 事務所) regarding the title of the property located in the PRC. All documents have been used for reference only.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the property is sold in the market in its existing state without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which might serve to affect the value of the property.

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

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

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

In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenures, particulars of occupancy, site/floor areas, identification of the property and other relevant information.

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site/floor areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore only approximations.

No allowances have been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property or for any expenses or taxation, which may be incurred in effecting a sale or purchase.

Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.

Our valuation has been prepared in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
