As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 October 2018, on 30 September 2018, the Company reached an agreement and entered into the SPA, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and Shengtong Holding Limited, the Purchaser, agreed to acquire, the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan at an aggregated consideration of RMB1,825 million (equivalent to HK$2,237 million).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) RMB46 million (equivalent to HK$56 million), being the consideration for the Original Interest (on a dollar-for-dollar basis).

(together the “ Consideration ”).

The Consideration was determined between the Company and the Purchaser based on arm’s length negotiation after taking into account, among other things, (i) the minimum bidding price for the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph of RMB680 million determined by the Company for the Public Tender mainly based on the initial feedback from the potential bidders and with reference to (a) the aggregate appraised value of the properties of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2017; (b) the adjusted unaudited consolidated Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2017; and (c) the then operation performance of the project companies of the Ease Triumph Group, further details of which can be found on pages 7 and 8 of the Company’s circular dated 31 May 2018, (ii) the aggregate appraised value of the properties of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 August 2018 of RMB2,808 million (equivalent to HK$3,466 million) according to the appraisal report issued by an independent appraisal firm, which is lower than their unaudited carrying value of RMB2,909 million (equivalent to HK$3,591 million) as at 30 June 2018 due to deteriorated market condition, (iii) the adjusted unaudited consolidated Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group as at 30 June 2018 of HK$86 million, being the Net Liabilities of the Ease Triumph Group as at 30 June 2018 of HK$33 million plus the valuation adjustments on the properties arising from the business combination which took place in 2014 of HK$329 million*, and net of the corresponding tax impact of HK$102 million and the part attributable to the non-controlling interest of the Ease Triumph Group of HK$108 million, and (iv) the latest operational and financial performance of the project companies of the Ease Triumph Group, in particular, the increase of loss before tax to over HK$132 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018 comparing to the loss of approximately HK$44 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017, and the decline in the cash generating capabilities of the project companies as demonstrated by the Ease Triumph Group’s deteriorated net cash flows from operating activities from a positive of HK$333 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017 to a negative of HK$26 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability, and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hengda Real Estate. It is an investment holding company primarily engaged in real estate investment.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Company is a company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (stock code: 232). The Group’s current principal business activities include: (a) property development and investment business; and (b) general aviation aircraft piston engine business.

For the year ended 31 December 2017, the Group’s property development and investment business recorded a revenue of HK$1,520,710,000 and a gross loss of HK$185,812,000. The main reason for the loss was due to the loss of HK$296,848,000 arisen from writing down properties under development and completed properties held for sale to net realisable value and included in the cost of sales. As at 30 June 2018, the Group’s properties under development and completed properties held for sale amounted to HK$3,206,513,000 and investment properties amounted to HK$384,568,000.

On 7 February 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Motto Investment Limited’s entire issue share capital and the shareholder’s loan notes owed to AVIC International (HK) Group Limited. Between the completion of the acquisition and 30 June 2018, the general aviation aircraft piston engine business recognised revenue and gross profit of HK$607,872,000 and HK$142,476,000, respectively, and recorded loss of HK$23,837,000. In the first half of 2018, the Group sold a total of 1,178 engine units. The sales of OEM Avgas Engines and spares went upwards, though partially offset by the maintenance, repair and overhaul division and lower revenue in the Titan Engine product line.

During the first half of 2018, the Group has launched a factory modernisation project called Blue Marlin aiming at deploying a new manufacturing facility with new processes and efficiencies. All documents for the property and the new facility have been signed with the developer, landlord, and airport authority. The new facility will be completed in the second quarter of 2019 with new equipment arriving in early 2019. The Company anticipates full production and transition to be completed in 2020.

Further, to align with the facility modernisation, the Group started the Macola 10 project to upgrade the current enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system from version 9 to version 10. This project will improve ERP system efficiencies and prepare the Group for both the completion of Blue Marlin and consolidation of accounting systems across factory operations. The first phase of the project in support of the new US factory is expected to complete by the end of 2019.

The unaudited consolidated total assets and Net Liabilities of the Ease Triumph Group as at 30 June 2018 were HK$3,372 million and HK$33 million, respectively.

The appraised value of the properties of Dalian Hanghua and Chongqing Hanglong as at 31 August 2018 was RMB1,970 million (equivalent to HK$2,432 million) and RMB838 million (equivalent to HK$1,034 million) respectively, based on a valuation by a combination of comparison and income approaches performed by an independent qualified valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited. Please refer to Appendix V of this circular for the details of the valuation report.

After Completion, Ease Triumph will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE DISPOSAL

As first disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 7 September 2016, the Company had been considering a series of business and asset reorganisation proposals which include the acquisition of certain assets and the disposal of the Group’s real estate development business in the PRC. The proposed reorganisation is part of a wider restructuring campaign being implemented by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of the PRC, according to which Aviation Industry was requested to dispose of all its real estate business.

After the completion of acquisition of Motto Investment Limited, details of which can be found in the circular of the Company dated 29 December 2017 and the announcement of the Company dated 7 February 2018, the Company has changed its business focus to the worldwide general aviation aircraft piston engines market. The Directors are confident that such a change is beneficial to the Group’s business performance and is in line with its development strategy in the long run. Given the incompatible business nature of the PRC real estate market with the general aviation aircraft piston

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

engines market, the Directors believe the Disposal would streamline the Group’s operations and enhance its focus on the new core business. Further, the Disposal would bring a considerable sum of proceeds for the Group to settle part of the outstanding consideration for the abovementioned acquisition and to enhance the working capital position of the Group.

The Board was of the view that conducting the Public Tender could attract more potential bidders and maximise the consideration for the disposal of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan which would be in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, However, the Purchaser, who was the only bidder that had paid the transaction deposit as required by CBEE, is a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level, and was not able to satisfy the independence requirements of participating bidders. The Company therefore could not use the Proposed Mandate to enter into any transaction regarding the Proposed Disposal with the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the unsuccessful attempt to conduct the Proposed Disposal under the Proposed Mandate, the Company and the Purchaser reached an agreement and entered into the SPA on 30 September 2018.

Under the SPA, the Purchaser will purchase the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph at the minimum bidding price under the Proposed Mandate, namely, RMB680 million. The Board is of the view that the terms of the SPA are fair and reasonable, the Disposal is on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

USE OF PROCEEDS AND FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL

The gross proceeds from the Disposal are expected to be approximately RMB1,868 million (equivalent to HK$2,289 million) which includes the Consideration, the estimated Original Interest and the estimated Additional Loan & Interest to be settled, and the net proceeds (after deducting related tax expenses, transaction costs and professional expenses) are expected to be approximately RMB1,704 million (equivalent to HK$2,088 million). The Group intends to use: (i) HK$800 million to settle part of the consideration of the acquisition of Motto Investment Limited; (ii) RMB433 million (equivalent to HK$535 million) for the repayment of interest-bearing liabilities of the Group; and (iii) the remainder of the proceeds for general working capital.

The Disposal is expected to give rise to a gain of approximately HK$744 million (before taxation, if any), calculated with reference to the difference between the consideration for the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the adjusted unaudited consolidated Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group as at 30 June 2018, the transaction costs and expenses of HK$3 million and the release of debit exchange reserve of the Ease Triumph Group of HK$7 million in relation to the Disposal. The actual gain or loss as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to any changes to the carrying amount of the Ease Triumph Group on the date of the Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Possible effect on earnings

For the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Group’s loss attributable to owners of the parent was approximately HK$113 million. As presented in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, had the Disposal been completed on 1 January 2018, the Remaining Group’s profit for the six months ended 30 June 2018 attributable to owners of the parent would have been approximately HK$335 million due to pro-forma adjustments of approximately HK$448 million, details of which are set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

Possible effect on net assets value

As of 30 June 2018, the Group’s total assets and Net Assets were approximately HK$7,494 million and HK$3,190 million respectively. As illustrated in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Remaining Group set out in Appendix IV to this circular, had the Disposal been completed on 30 June 2018, total assets of the Remaining Group would have been approximately HK$5,858 million and Net Assets of the Remaining Group would have been approximately HK$3,747 million.

The unaudited financial information regarding the Ease Triumph Group for the years ended 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 and the six months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018 is set out in Appendix II to this circular. For further information regarding the financial implications of the Disposal on the Group, please refer to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group prepared pursuant to Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules, as set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

After Completion, Ease Triumph will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. The Remaining Business of the Remaining Group will be mainly the general aviation aircraft piston engine business.

The prospect of the Remaining Group is encouraged by the following factors: (i) its longstanding manufacturing heritage in the piston aircraft engine manufacturing industry; (ii) its diversified product portfolio of engines for a broad range of aircrafts; (iii) its strong research and development capacity; (iv) its presence in key markets; and (v) support from its controlling shareholder, Aviation Industry, which is a PRC state-owned aviation and defence company.

The Company intends to maintain the Remaining Group as a leading international aviation piston engine supplier by (i) retaining its current management team; (ii) consolidating its market position in the US market; (iii) establishing its presence in the PRC and creating a strong brand name among Chinese OEMs and end users; (iv) focusing on technology development and introducing new products regularly; and (v) optimising its efficiency on sales, production and sourcing. The management of the Company expects the Remaining Group’s businesses will continue to flourish in the foreseeable future.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal, if materialised, will constitute a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As such, the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Also, the Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hengda Real Estate, which currently holds 80% of the issued share capital of Hangfa Investment and therefore is a substantial shareholder of Dalian Hanghua, a 52.08%-owned subsidiary of Ease Triumph. As a result, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level under Rule 14A.06(9) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

None of the Directors has any material interest in the SPA and hence no Director is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the resolutions approving the SPA at the Board meeting.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors of the Company) have approved the Disposal and confirmed that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable, and the Disposal is on normal commercial terms or better and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. Pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, the Disposal is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempted from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements.

Set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-2 of this circular is a notice convening the SGM to be held at Monaco Room, Basement 1, Regal Hongkong Hotel, 88 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong on Friday, 9 November 2018 at 2:30 p.m..

At the SGM, ordinary resolution(s) for approving the SPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be proposed for the Shareholder’s approval.

The resolution(s) will be voted by way of poll at the SGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder has material interest in the Disposal (other than being a Shareholder) and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) at the SGM.

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EASE TRIUMPH GROUP

Set out below are the unaudited consolidated financial information of Ease Triumph International Limited (the “Ease Triumph”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Ease Triumph Group”) which comprises the unaudited consolidated statements of financial position of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2015, 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018 and the unaudited consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unaudited consolidated statements of changes in equity and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows of the Ease Triumph Group for the years ended 31 December 2015, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017 and the six months ended 30 June 2018, and certain explanatory notes (altogether the “Unaudited Financial Information”).

The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 68(2)(a)(i) of Chapter 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and the bases of preparation and presentation as set out in Note 2 to the Unaudited Financial Information. The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the Disposal. The Ease Triumph’s auditor, Ernst & Young, was engaged to review the Unaudited Financial Information of the Ease Triumph Group as set out on pages II-2 to II-14 of this circular in accordance with Hong Kong 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.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong 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 their review on the Unaudited Financial Information, nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the Unaudited Financial Information of the Ease Triumph Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation as set out in Note 2.

— II-11 —

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EASE TRIUMPH GROUP

30 June 2018, for respective years and periods, which conform with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issue by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). The Unaudited Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollar (HK$) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The Unaudited Financial Information of the Ease Triumph Group does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 (Revised) “Presentation of Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA nor an interim report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the HKICPA.

3 Changes in accounting policies

The Ease Triumph Group has adopted Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“HFKRS 15”) for the first time for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

HKFRS 15 supersedes HKAS 11 Construction Contracts , HKAS 18 Revenue and related Interpretations which were applicable to the Ease Triumph Group for years ended 31 December 2015, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017, and HKFRS 15 applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers effective from 1 January 2018, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards. The new standard establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under HKFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract.

The Ease Triumph Group adopted HKFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method which allows the Ease Triumph Group to recognise the cumulative effects of initially applying HKFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits at 1 January 2018. The Ease Triumph Group elected to apply the practical expedient for completed contracts and did not restate the contracts completed before 1 January 2018, thus the comparative figures have not been restated.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the customer. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the asset may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the asset is transferred over time if the Ease Triumph Group’s performance:

  • provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;

— II-12 —

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EASE TRIUMPH GROUP

  • creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Ease Triumph Group performs; or

  • do not create an asset with an alternative use to the Ease Triumph Group and the Ease Triumph Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the asset transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset.

The progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured based on the Ease Triumph Group’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation, by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract.

(i) Accounting for revenue from sales of properties

Prior to the adoption of HKFRS 15, the Ease Triumph Group accounted for revenue from sales of properties when significant risks and rewards of ownership has been transferred to the customers.

Under HKFRS 15, for properties that have no alternative use to the Ease Triumph Group due to contractual reasons and when the Ease Triumph Group has an enforceable right to payment from customers for performance completed to date, the Ease Triumph Group recognises revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied over time in accordance with the input method for measuring progress. The excess of cumulative revenue recognised in profit or loss over the cumulative billings to purchasers of properties is recognised as contract assets. The excess of cumulative billings to purchasers of properties over the cumulative revenue recognised in profit or loss is recognised as contract liabilities.

The Ease Triumph Group has assessed that the revenue from sale of properties will continue to be recognised at a point in time, when the purchasers obtain the physical possession or the legal title of the completed property and the Ease Triumph Group has present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

The Ease Triumph Group adopted the transitional provisions in HKFRS 15 to recognise the cumulative effect of initial adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits at 1 January 2018. In addition, the Ease Triumph Group applied the new requirements only to contracts that are not completed before 1 January 2018. Those sales of completed properties held for sale with control of the properties not transferred to customers before 1 January 2018 and the corresponding cost of sales were adjusted to the opening balance of retained profits at 1 January 2018. The impact of the adoption of HKFRS 15 is shown in the table below.

(ii) Accounting for significant financing component for sales of properties

Prior to the adoption of HKFRS 15, the Ease Triumph Group presented sales proceeds received from customers in connection with the Ease Triumph Group’s pre-sales of properties as customer deposits in the consolidated statement of financial position.

— II-13 —

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EASE TRIUMPH GROUP

Upon adoption of HKFRS 15, the Ease Triumph Group elected to apply the practical expedient and did not recognise the effects of a significant component with a customer if the time period is one year or less. In addition, reclassifications have been made from customer deposits to contract liabilities for the outstanding balance of sales proceeds from customers. The adoption of HKFRS 15 has had no significant impact on the opening retained profits as at 1 January 2018. Customer deposits of HK$217,981,000 has been reclassified to contract liabilities as at 1 January 2018. The impact of the adoption of HKFRS 15 is shown in the table below.

(iii) Accounting for sales commission

Prior to the adoption of HKFRS 15, the Ease Triumph Group expensed off the sales commission associated with obtaining agreement for sale and purchase with property buyer. Upon adoption of HKFRS 15, sales commissions incurred directly attributable to obtaining a contract, if recoverable, are capitalised and recorded in contract assets. Capitalised sales commissions are charged to profit or loss when the revenue from the related property sale is recognised and are included as selling and distribution expenses at that time. The impact of the adoption of HKFRS 15 on sales commission was adjusted to the opening balance of retained profits at 1 January 2018. The impact of the adoption of HKFRS 15 is shown in the table below.

The impact on the Ease Triumph Group’s financial position at 1 January 2018 by the application of HKFRS 15 is as follows:

Upon completion of the Disposal, the Ease Triumph Group will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company will no longer have any ownership interest in the Ease Triumph Group. The financial data in respect of the Remaining Group, for the purpose of this circular, is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for each of the financial years ended 31 December 2017 (“ FY2017 ”), 31 December 2016 (“ FY2016 ”), 31 December 2015 (“ FY2015 ”) and the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018 (“ 1H2018 ”).

(i) 1H2018

During 1H2018, the Remaining Group’s revenue amounted to HK$607.9 million (For the six months ended 30 June 2017 (“ 1H2017 ”): Nil).

The Remaining Group’s net loss attributable to owners of the parent for 1H2018 was approximately HK$72.4 million (1H2017: HK$20.2 million). The increase in the loss attributable to owners of the parent was mainly because: (1) a one-off gain on disposal of convertible loans of approximately HK$87.2 million was recorded for 1H2017; (2) the newly acquired general aviation aircraft piston engine business recorded a loss of approximately HK$23.8 million for 1H2018; and (3) exchange loss of approximately HK$22.1 million arisen from the change in exchange rate for the new loan from an intermediate holding company in 2018 was included in administrative expenses in 1H2018; though a fair value loss of financial instruments of only approximately HK$10.6 million was recorded for 1H2018 as compared to the impairment and fair value loss of financial instruments of approximately HK$85.5 million in total recorded for 1H2017.

Funding and treasury policy

The Remaining Group’s funding and treasury policy intended to sustain a diversified and balanced debt and financing structure. The Remaining Group endeavoured to monitor its cash flow position and debt, and to improve the cost-efficiency of funding initiatives by its centralised treasury function. In order to maintain financial flexibility and adequate liquidity for the Remaining Group’s operations and growth plans, the Remaining Group had built a solid base of funding resources and would keep exploring cost-efficient ways of financing.

Operating Segment Information

During 1H2018, the Remaining Group only has one reportable operating segment, the general aviation aircraft piston engine business, which engages in the design, development and production of general aviation aircraft piston engines and spare parts as well as the provision of aftermarket services and supports for piston engines.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

APPENDIX III

(iii) FY 2016

During FY2016, the Remaining Group’s revenue from continuing operations amounted to nil (FY2015: HK$7.6 million). The decrease in revenue was mainly because the trading business segment recorded no revenue in FY2016. During FY2016, the Remaining Group disposed of 浙江東陽金牛針 織製衣有限公司 (“Zhejiang Dongyang Jinniu”), a 51%-owned subsidiary, to an independent third party at a cash consideration of approximately HK$5.7 million. Zhejiang Dongyang Jinniu engaged in the production and distribution of knitting and textile products, knitted fabrics and clothing. The Remaining Group decided to dispose of this subsidiary and cease its knitting and textile business because it had been loss-making in recent years. In FY2016, the revenue of this discontinued operation amounted to approximately HK$18.6 million (FY2015: HK$43.6 million).

The Remaining Group’s result attributable to owners of the parent for FY2016 was a loss of approximately HK$659.4 million (FY2015: profit of approximately HK$55.3 million), which arose mainly from the fair value losses on an equity investment at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments in an aggregate of approximately HK$306.7 million (FY2015: gain of approximately HK$26.9 million), as well as the share of losses of the joint venture and associates in an aggregate of approximately HK$218.4 million (FY2015: HK$68.6 million) and the impairment of an available-for-sale investment of approximately HK$134.1 million (FY2015: HK$311.1 million).

Funding and treasury policy

The Remaining Group’s funding and treasury policy intended to sustain a diversified and balanced debt and financing structure. The Remaining Group endeavoured to monitor its cash flow position and debt, and to improve the cost-efficiency of funding initiatives by its centralised treasury function. In order to maintain financial flexibility and adequate liquidity for the Remaining Group’s operations and growth plans, the Remaining Group had built a solid base of funding resources and would keep exploring cost-efficient ways of financing.

Operating Segment Information

During FY2016, the Remaining Group disposed of the knitting and textile business and the Remaining Group had no other segment in operation that had revenue.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

APPENDIX III

attributable to the decrease in the revenue from the trading business segment. The revenue from the discontinued operation (i.e. from Zhejiang Dongyang Jinniu) amounted to approximately HK$43.6 million (FY2014: HK$53.4 million). It was mainly attributable to the weak condition of the knitting and textile industry as a result of the influence of macro economy in FY2015.

The Remaining Group’s result attributable to owners of the parent for FY2015 was a profit of approximately HK$55.3 million (FY2014: loss of approximately HK$142.0 million). The improved result was mainly because the Remaining Group recorded a one-off net gain on deemed disposal of associates of approximately HK$433.4 million (FY2014: HK$0.7 million). Nevertheless, a provision for impairment of an available-for-sale investment of approximately HK$311.1 million (FY2014: nil) was made due to the significant fall in stock market.

Funding and treasury policy

The Remaining Group’s funding and treasury policy intended to sustain a diversified and balanced debt and financing structure. The Remaining Group endeavoured to monitor its cash flow position and debt, and to improve the cost-efficiency of funding initiatives by its centralised treasury function. In order to maintain financial flexibility and adequate liquidity for the Remaining Group’s operations and growth plans, the Remaining Group had built a solid base of funding resources and would keep exploring cost-efficient ways of financing.

For FY2015, the trading business segment recorded a profit of approximately HK$0.2 million.

  1. The adjustment reflects the exclusion of (i) the fair value adjustments of HK$329 million as at 30 June 2018 arising from the acquisition of entire equity interests in Ease Triumph by the Group in 2014; and (ii) the corresponding tax impact of HK$102 million as at 30 June 2018.

As the additional loan with a principal amount of approximately RMB11 million at the interest rate of 6% per annum was granted on 20 July 2018 (the “Additional Loan”), the impact of Additional Loan and relevant accrued interest is not included in the above calculation. Therefore, the gross proceeds from the disposal of the shareholder’s loans are estimated to be HK$1,341 million.

  • (b) Accrued interest on the Shareholder’s Loans represents the interest income receivable recognised from the respective interest start dates and up to 25 June 2018.

The exchange rates of HK$1.00 to RMB0.81 and HK$1.00 to USD0.129 were used for translating the cash consideration, the Shareholder’s Loans and the accrued interest on the Shareholder’s Loans.

  • (iii) The amount of the Group’s non-controlling interests in the Ease Triumph Group was extracted from the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 as stated in the Group’s unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018, representing the entire balance of the Group’s non-controlling interests as at 30 June 2018 as the Remaining Group did not have other non-wholly-owned subsidiaries as at 30 June 2018.

  • (iv) The amount represents exchange fluctuation reserve of the Ease Triumph Group to be released to profit or loss as if the Disposal had been completed on 30 June 2018.

  • (v) The amount represents tax on capital gain on disposal of the Ease Triumph Group as if the Disposal had been completed on 30 June 2018.

  • (vi) The transaction costs represent professional fee directly attributable to the Disposal which are estimated to be HK$2 million and it is assumed that the fees will be settled by cash.

Actual gain on disposal arising from the Disposal depends on actual proceeds from the Disposal, actual amount of net assets of the Ease Triumph Group, actual amount of exchange fluctuation reserve of the Ease Triumph Group to be released to profit or loss and actual amount of tax on capital gain on the completion date. Therefore, the actual gain on disposal shall be different from the amount calculated in the above table.

  1. The unaudited consolidated statement of profit or loss and the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2018 were extracted from the Group’s unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018 in the Group’s published interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

The Board of Directors

AVIC International Holding (HK) Limited

Unit B, 15th, United Centre No. 95 Queensway Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited (“ JLL ” or “ we ”) is instructed by AVIC International Holding (HK) Limited (the “ Company ”) to provide valuation service on two properties in which Dalian Hanghua Real Estate Company Limited (“ Dalian Hanghua ”, a 52.08% interest owned subsidiary of the Company) and Chongqing Hanglong Real Estate Company Limited (“ Chongqing Hanglong ”, a 99% interest owned subsidiary of the Company) (hereinafter together with the Company referred to as the “ Group ”) have interests in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”). We confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion on the market values of the property interests as at 31 August 2018 (the “ valuation date ”).

Our valuation is carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

According to the purpose for the property interests held, the properties are categorized in three groups in this report: Group I- Property interests held for sale by the Group, Group II- Property interests held for investment by the Group and Group III- Property interests held for future development by the Group.

Considering evidences of relevant transactions in the market place in which the properties located can be observed, we have valued the properties in Group I and Group III by the comparison

APPENDIX V

approach assuming sale of the property interests in their existing states with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as the best indicator and pre-supposes that evidence of relevant transactions in the market place can be extrapolated to similar properties, subject to allowances for variable factors.

For the purpose of our valuation, completed properties for sale are those the Construction Work Completion and Inspection Certificate/Tables or Building Ownership Certificates/Real Estate Title Certificates thereof are issued by the relevant local authorities or are in the process of application, this also includes those property interests which have been contracted to be sold, but the formal assignment procedures of which have not yet been completed; and properties for future development are those the Construction Work Commencement Permits are not issued while the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates have been obtained.

We have valued the properties in Group II by the income approach considering most of the property held for investment by the Group has been leased out and most of the lease terms is longer than 2 years, and the rental market is active. We take into account the net rental income of the property derived from the existing leases and/or achievable in the existing market with due allowance for the reversionary income potential of the leases, which have been then capitalized to determine the market value at an appropriate capitalization rate. Where appropriate, reference has also been made to the comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation — Global Standards 2017 published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; the HKIS Valuation Standards published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.

We have been shown copies of title documents including State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates, Real Estate Title Certificates, Construction Work Planning Permits, Construction Work Commencement Permits and other official plans relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. If necessary, we recommend that a PRC legal opinion is sought to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX V

We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no unexpected cost and delay will be incurred during construction. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

The site inspection was carried out in the period from 12 February 2018 and 18 September 2018 by Ms. Corrina Li and Mr. Shawn Yang. Ms. Corrina Li has obtained a MA degree in Economics in 2007 and has 11 years’ property valuation experience in the PRC. Mr. Shawn Yang has obtained a MA degree in Finance in 2017 and has 1 year’s property valuation experience in the PRC.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

All monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB).

Our summary of values and valuation certificates are attached below for your attention.

As advised by the Company, potential tax liabilities would be incurred on sales of the properties and they are mainly PRC value added tax (“ VAT ”) and associated surcharges, PRC corporate income tax, PRC land appreciation tax and stamp duty. The estimated total potential tax liability would be RMB251.5 million (representing 100% interest) based on the assumption that the properties were to be sold at the amount of valuation in this report.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited
