Given the consideration for the Sale Share was agreed to be RMB3,300 million under the Share Transfer Agreement, the Share Transfer Agreement was not terminated and the Purchaser remained obliged to fulfil its payment obligations under the Share Transfer Agreement, the parties to the Share Transfer Agreement commenced negotiation for an agreement to supplement the Share Transfer Agreement, which took into account the transfer of the Sale Share by enforcement.
On 28 March 2022, the Company, Shenzhen Colour Life, the Purchaser and the Target Company entered into the Supplemental Agreement to supplement the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement. The Share Transfer Agreement, as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement, is legally valid and enforceable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
Upon completion of the transfer of the Sale Share, the members of the Target Group ceased to be subsidiaries of the Company, and the financial results of the Target Group were no longer consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.
Effect on earnings
The Group recognised gain on the Disposal of approximately RMB299 million, after taking the professional fees and other expenses directly attributable to the Disposal of approximately RMB13 million and the withholding tax for the Disposal of approximately RMB33 million into consideration.
Effect on assets
The Disposal resulted in a decrease of approximately RMB1,158 million in the total assets of the Group, a decrease of approximately RMB1,457 million in total liabilities of the Group, and an increase of approximately RMB299 million in net assets of the Group, taking into account the net cash and consideration receivables generated from the Disposal of approximately RMB3,300 million less the net asset of the Target Group as at 30 September 2021 of approximately RMB2,955 million, the estimated professional fees and other expenses directly attributable to the Disposal of approximately RMB13 million, and the withholding tax for the Disposal of approximately RMB33 million.
REASON FOR THE DISPOSAL
At the relevant time of entering the Share Transfer Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Group was faced with tightened liquidity, the Disposal assisted in immediately relieving the liquidity issue of the Group. The proceeds from the Disposal received so far had been utilised as to (i) approximately 76% towards repayment of the principal amount of the bank loans and accrued interests; (ii) approximately 24% as general working capital (including salary payments, prepayment and deposits, utilities and legal fees) of the Group. The remaining proceeds to be received will be applied as general working capital of the Group.
After the Disposal in October 2021, the property sector in China experienced further deterioration in 2022 in terms of contracted sales and liquidity. Many, if not most, market participants were not immuned from the trend. While the 16 supportive measures have been outlined in the Notice of the People’s Bank of China and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission on Providing Financial Support for the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market( 關於做好當前金融支持房地產市場平穩健康發展工作的通知 ) published in November 2022 with the objective of easing the liquidity issue faced by the sector, it is expected that it would take some time before their impact and benefits will be permeated the sector.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
For the above reasons and the then prevailing market sentiment, the Company considered that the Disposal, which took place in October 2021, was is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The portfolio of the properties under the management of the Target Group was a sub-set of the portfolio of the properties under the management of the Group.
Since completion of the transfer of the Sale Share and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not engaged in the provision of property management services to pure commercial properties. It remained focused on the provision of property management services to properties in which the majority of the portfolio consists of (i) properties which are purely residential; and (ii) integrated mixed-use properties (including office buildings, shopping malls, leisure facilities, SOHO and serviced apartments) which have residential components, but excluding pure commercial properties.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(iii) The Purchaser
The Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Country Garden. Based on the public information available, the Purchaser and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of property management services, community value-added services, value-added services to non-property owners, ‘‘Three Supplies and Property Management’’ businesses, city services and commercial operational services.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Company, after making all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
(1) Very substantial disposal
As the highest applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal is more than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
(2) Rule 14.49 of the Listing Rules
Given the Sale Share had already been transferred to the Purchaser prior to obtaining Shareholder’s approval at the EGM, the Disposal did not comply with Rule 14.49 of the Listing Rules. The Company would like to emphasis that the breach was un-intentional and a one-off incident. The transfer of the Sale Share took place via enforcement under unprecedented and exceptional circumstances. At the relevant time in 2021, access to financing suddenly dwindled, the sentiment of homebuyers became depressed, and the cash flow in financing and operations declined sharply, the Group, together with many market participants of the property sector, was faced with unprecedented tightened liquidity. Barring unforeseen and exceptional circumstances, the Company does not expect any similar breaches in the future.
Notwithstanding that the transfer of the Sale Share has taken place, to protect the information rights of the Shareholders, the Company has (i) disclosed the principal terms of the Disposal and information in relation to the Target Group in this circular; and (ii) will convene the EGM so as to provide the forum and opportunity for the Shareholders to ask questions and express their comments in connection with the Disposal.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (3) Rule 14.68(2) and Rule 14.68(3) of the Listing Rules
Set out in Appendix II of this circular is the financial information for the three years ended 31 December 2020 and nine months ended 30 September 2021 of the Target Group.
The period covered by the financial statements set out in Appendix II does not comply strictly with Rule 14.68(2) of the Listing Rules, which provides that the circular should include financial information of the Target Company for the relevant period as defined in the note to Rule 4.06(1)(a), being the three financial years immediately preceding the issue of this circular and a stub period, provided that the relevant period must have ended 6 months or less before the issue of this circular.
The Company considers that disclosure of the financial information for the period as disclosed in Appendix II provides the Shareholders with sufficient and more relevant information for them to consider the Disposal:
-
a. Since the transfer, the Company no longer had control of the Target Company. As a matter of fact, the Company would not be able to obtain the financial information of the Target Group as the Sale Share has been transferred to the Purchaser since October 2021 and under the Purchaser’s management.
-
b. The principal terms of the Disposal (including the consideration) was originally agreed in September 2021. Appendix II contains the financial information of the Target Group up to and including the month in which the terms of the Disposal was agreed, which was considered by the parties to Share Transfer Agreement when negotiating the terms of the Disposal.
The Company is also not able to comply with Rule 14.68(3) of the Listing Rules which requires disclosure of the financial information required under paragraph 32 of Appendix 16 on the Remaining Group taking into account only the effect of the Disposal. Nevertheless, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 5 July 2023 for the 2021 annual results, 2022 annual results and the 2022 interim results which reflect the Remaining Group’s performance for the relevant period taking into account the Disposal.
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(4) Rule 4.29(4) and (5) of the Listing Rules
Set out in Appendix III of this circular is the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group.
The unadjusted information was not derived from the most recent audited published financial statements (being the 2022 annual results) and the published interim results (being the 2022 interim results), which is not compliant with Rule 4.29(5). The Company is not able to comply with Rule 4.29(4) of the Listing Rules which requires pro forma financial information to be published in respect of (a) the current financial period; (b) the most recently completed financial period; and/or (c) the most recent interim period for which relevant unadjusted information has been or will be published or is being published in the same document.
Nevertheless, the Company considers that the purpose of disclosure of pro forma information is to illustrate the isolated effect of the Disposal had the Disposal occurred on an earlier date at the beginning of the financial period reported on. This is usually complied based on the latest published financial statements at the relevant time of transfer of the Sale Share. In the present case, the transfer of the Sale Share had occurred in October 2021. The relevant financial period for the purpose of illustrating the impact of the transaction would be the financial year ended 31 December 2020 and six months ended 30 June 2021, which were the financial periods immediately prior to the transfer of the Sale Share. The 2021 and 2022 annual results, which have been published on the Stock Exchange, have already included the financial effect of the Disposal. Strict compliance with Rule 4.29(4) would not be meaningful or could even be misleading to the Shareholders.
As such, the Company is of the view that, the pro forma information, when read together with the financial information of the Target Group immediately prior to the Disposal as set out in Appendix II, would provide Shareholders with relevant and sufficient information for the Shareholders to understand the Disposal.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
GENERAL
While the Company originally expected to despatch this circular to the Shareholders before 31 May 2022 as stated in the announcement of the Company stated 28 March 2022, the preparation of the circular has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances including for example the winding- up petition filed against Fantasia, to which the Company is a principal subsidiary, at the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands as disclosed in the announcement of Fantasia dated 27 May 2022; and (ii) substantial resources and effort of Fantasia Group (including the Company) had been prioritised to the proposed restructuring of the offshore debts of Fantasia, which will assist the Group in attaining a more stable capital structure that is crucial to the long term business and operations of the Group, and in turn is of paramount importance to the stakeholders of the Group.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Set out below are the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 December 2018, 2019, 2020 and 30 September 2021, and the unaudited condensed consolidated profit and loss accounts, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and unaudited condensed consolidated cash flow statements of the Target Group for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the periods ended 30 September 2020 and 2021 (the ‘‘Historical Financial Information’’).
The Historical Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the Disposal. The Unaudited Financial Information of the Target Group has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and prepared on the basis set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information and is prepared by the Directors solely for the purposes of inclusion in this circular in connection with the disposal of the equity interest in Link Joy Holdings Group Co., Limited.
Prism Hong Kong and Shanghai Limited, the auditor of Colour Life Services Group Co., Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) was engaged to review the Unaudited Financial Information of the Target Group set out on pages II-1 to II-8 of this circular in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’).
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the auditor to obtain assurance that the auditor would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the auditor does not express an audit opinion.
Based on the review on the Unaudited Financial Information of the Target Group, nothing has come to the auditor’s attention that causes them to believe that the Unaudited Financial Information of the Target Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information of the Target Group.
