— 6 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The appraised value of the properties of Dalian Hanghua and Chongqing Hanglong as at 31 December 2017 was approximately HK$2,328.9 million and HK$976.9 million, respectively, based on a valuation performed by an independent professionally qualified valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited. Based on the above valuation of the property assets of the Ease Triumph Group, the adjusted Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2017 would be approximately HK$166.1 million.
V. Major Terms of the Proposed Disposal
Qualifications of potential bidders
The potential bidders shall satisfy, among others, the following qualifications:
-
the potential transferee shall be financially sound and solvent;
-
the potential transferee shall have good business credibility;
-
the potential transferee shall be an independent third party;
-
if the potential transferee is a natural person, he/she shall have full civil capacity; and
-
other qualifications stipulated under the laws and regulations of the PRC.
Consideration for the Proposed Disposal
The total consideration for the Proposed Disposal includes two components:
- The minimum bidding price for the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph is RMB680 million, which was decided by the Board after taking into consideration of: (i) the aggregate appraised value of the properties of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2017 of approximately HK$3,305.8 million based on the appraisal report prepared by an independent appraisal firm; (ii) the adjusted unaudited consolidated Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2017 of approximately HKD 166.1 million, being the Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group as at 31 December 2017 of approximately HK$56.4 million plus the valuation adjustments on the properties of approximately HK$305.0 million (derived from the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of properties under development as at the date of acquisition in accordance with HKFRS 3 Business Combinations, less the relevant portion of adjustment attributable to the properties sold during the years ended 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 which were included in “cost of sales” of each relevant years), and net of corresponding tax impact of approximately HK$94.3 million and the part attributable to the non-controlling interests of the Ease Triumph Group of approximately HK$101.0 million; and (iii) the operation performance of the project companies of the Ease Triumph Group. In particular, the Board had considered the initial feedback from the potential bidders whom the Company had contacted with, which indicated that a reasonable floor price for the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph would be RMB680 million.
— 7 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The final consideration of the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph will depend on the final bid price offered by the successful bidder, but will in any event be no less than the minimum bidding price of RMB680 million.
- The consideration of the Shareholder’s Loan is the total outstanding principal amount of approximately USD98 million and RMB471 million (equivalent to approximately a total of HK$1,317 million)[(Note)] . In addition, the successful bidder should pay the interest in relation to the Shareholder’s Loan up to the actual repayment date before Completion.
The minimum bidding price for the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph of RMB680 million is largely based on the initial feedback from the potential bidders independent of the Company. As it is far above the adjusted unaudited consolidated Net Assets of the Ease Triumph Group of HKD166.1 million as at 31 December 2017, it is expected that there will be a gain resulting from the Proposed Disposal. In addition, the consideration of the Shareholder’s Loan is based on the book value. Therefore the Directors consider the minimum bidding price is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Since the consideration for the Proposed Disposal is subject to the final bid price which will be equal to or above the minimum bidding price, the Board considers that the basis of the consideration is fair and reasonable.
The consideration shall be satisfied by the purchaser in the following manner:
-
(i) 30% of the consideration shall be paid by the purchaser to the Company within five (5) Business Days after signing of the relevant sale and purchase agreement. The remittance information shall be provided in the payment notice to be issued by the Company; and
-
(ii) 70% of the consideration and the interest in relation to the Shareholder’s Loan (up to the actual repayment date before Completion) shall be paid by the purchaser to the Company within thirty (30) days after signing of the relevant sale and purchase agreement. The remittance information shall be provided in the payment notice to be issued by the Company.
Public tender process of the Proposed Disposal
The Company has performed the preliminary disclosure of information (the “Pre-Listing Disclosure”) procedures through CBEE, with a publicity period of 20 Business Days commencing immediately after it published the announcement regarding the Proposed Disposal on 17 April 2018. The Pre-Listing Disclosure contained the basic information of the Ease Triumph Group and the qualifications requirements for the bidders, etc. The Company made the Pre-Listing Disclosure after obtaining the approval of the Board.
Upon completion of the Pre-Listing Disclosure procedures through CBEE, in order to commence the formal process of public tender of the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan, the Company will have to submit the tender notice setting out, inter alia, (i) the minimum consideration of the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan; (ii) the principal terms of the bidding; and (iii) qualifications of potential bidders, to CBEE for the Proposed Disposal after obtaining the Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.
Note: The figures are converted into HK$ at the rate of HK$1.00 : USD0.129 and HK$1.00 : RMB0.845 for indicative purpose only.
— 8 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Once the tender notice is published, the publication period will commence and open for 20 Business Days. During the publication period, qualified bidders may indicate their interest in purchasing the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan and register themselves as interested bidders.
Upon expiry of the publication period, CBEE will notify the Company the identity of the successful bidder of the public tender. The Company will then enter into a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan with the successful bidder and to complete the Proposed Disposal accordingly.
Condition precedent to the entering into and completion of the Proposed Disposal
The entering into the Proposed Disposal shall be conditional upon the Company having completed all filing procedures and obtained all necessary consents and approvals regarding the Proposed Disposal including the approval by the Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Mandate at the SGM. The Proposed Mandate will remain valid for 12 months since the date of approval by the Shareholders at the SGM.
Once a successful bidder for the entire issued share capital of Ease Triumph and the Shareholder’s Loan has been identified, the Company will have an unconditional obligation under the rules of CBEE to enter into the sale and purchase agreement with such a successful bidder and shall, subject to the payment of the consideration and the interest in relation to the Shareholder’s Loan (up to the actual repayment date before Completion) by the successful bidder, complete the transaction contemplated thereunder. The Company will not be able to include the approval of the Shareholders which is required under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules as a condition precedent to the completion of the Proposed Disposal under the rules of CBEE. Accordingly, the Board will seek the Shareholders’ advance approval for the grant of the Proposed Mandate at the SGM.
REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL AND THE PROPOSED MANDATE
As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 7 September 2016, the Company has 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, 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 incompatibility of the business natures of the PRC real estate market and the general aviation aircraft
— 9 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
piston engines market, the Directors believe the Proposed Disposal would streamline the Group’s operations and enhance its focus on the new core business. Further, the Proposed 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.
The Board has considered engaging real estate agencies for the disposal of the property assets of the Group. However, the Board is of the view that conducting the Proposed Disposal through CBEE could attract more potential bidders and maximise the consideration of the Proposed Disposal, which would be in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Also, the transaction costs and expenses through CBEE would be much lower than the cost of engagement of a real estate agency. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has contacted several potential bidders who are interested in the Proposed Disposal.
The Company has consulted CBEE regarding the requirements and tendering procedures applicable to the Proposed Disposal and CBEE indicated that a tender conditional on shareholders’ approval will not be acceptable under the rules of CBEE. Under such a restriction, the Company would not be able to conduct the Proposed Disposal under the public tender process unless a prior mandate is sought.
The Company is of the view that the following appropriate measures are in place to safeguard the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole for the Proposed Disposal:
-
a. the major terms and conditions in relation to the Proposed Disposal, except the final consideration, would be fixed and publicly disclosed in this circular and in the public tender;
-
b. a minimum bidding price would be set for the Proposed Disposal, meaning that the Company would be protected against any unfavourable bidding results which might not be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole; and
-
c. the Proposed Mandate would be subject to Shareholders’ approval.
USE OF PROCEEDS AND FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL
Based on the minimum bidding price, the gross proceeds from the Proposed Disposal are expected to be the aggregate of approximately RMB1,160 million and USD104 million and net proceeds (after deducting related tax expenses, transaction cost and professional expenses) are expected to be the aggregate of approximately RMB1,110 million and USD104 million. The Group intends to use: (i) approximately HK$800 million to settle part of the consideration of the acquisition of Motto Investment Limited; (ii) approximately RMB433 million for the repayment of interest-bearing liabilities of the Group; and (iii) the remaining of the proceeds for general working capital purpose.
— 10 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Proposed Disposal would give rise to a gain of approximately HK$516.6 million (net of income tax and estimated transaction costs) had it been completed on 31 December 2017, details of which are set out in Note 4 of Appendix IV to this circular. The actual gain or loss as a result of the Proposed Disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to any changes to the carrying amount of the Ease Triumph Group at Completion and the final consideration.
Possible effect on earnings
For the year ended 31 December 2017, the Group’s loss for the year attributable to owners of the parent was approximately HK$288.5 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 Proposed Disposal been completed on 1 January 2017, the Remaining Group’s profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent would have been approximately HK$228.1 million due to pro-forma adjustments of approximately HK$516.6 million, details of which are set out in Appendix IV to this circular.
Possible effect on net assets value
As of 31 December 2017, the Group’s total assets and net assets value were approximately HK$4,384.1 million and HK$2,271.9 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 Proposed Disposal been completed on 31 December 2017, total assets of the Remaining Group would have been approximately HK$2,386.0 million and net assets value of the Remaining Group would have been approximately HK$2,342.5 million.
The unaudied financial information regarding the Ease Triumph Group for the years ended 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 is set out in Appendix II to this circular. For further information regarding the financial implications of the Proposed 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.

The Group’s current principal business activities include: (a) property development and investment business; and (b) general aviation aircraft piston engine business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
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 (“Acquisition”). After the completion of the Acquisition and up to the date of this circular, the Group has been endeavouring to integrate the newly acquired business into the Group on the aspects of culture, management, internal control and financial reporting systems. Also, the Group is in the process of compiling and reviewing the latest operation and financial status of the newly acquired business and is in the process of upgrading its existing engine products line, the Group is committed to maintain the leading position of in the market of the general aviation aircraft piston engines. The Directors are not aware of any material change in the operation of Motto Investment Limited and its subsidiaries as disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 29 December 2017.
As disclosed in the section headed “Reasons and Benefits for the Proposed Disposal and the Proposed Mandate”, the Company has 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 as part of a wider restructuring campaign being implemented by State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. The acquisition of Motto Investment Limited was completed on 7 February 2018 and the Proposed Disposal is being carried out by the Company as the final step of the reorganisation.
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 prospects 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 aerospace 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, product and sourcing. The management of the Company expects the Remaining Group’s businesses will continue to flourish in the foreseeable future.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE DISPOSAL 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 and 31 December 2017 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 then ended, 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 Proposed 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 18 to 25 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.

Upon completion of the Proposed 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 ”) and 31 December 2015 (“ FY2015 ”).

The Remaining Group’s result attributable to owners of the parent for FY2017 was a loss of approximately HK$68.7 million (FY2016: HK$659.4 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.

APPENDIX III
Cash position
As at 31 December 2017, the Remaining Group’s bank and cash balances were approximately HK$440.3 million.
Borrowings and Gearing ratio
As at 31 December 2017, the Remaining Group’s equity attributable to owners of the parent amounted to approximately HK$1,566.4 million. The Remaining Group did not have any interest-bearing debt. The Remaining Group’s gearing ratio, calculated on the basis of the interest-bearing debts as a percentage of equity attributable to owners of the parent plus the interest-bearing debts, was 0%.
Charge on assets
As at 31 December 2017, the Remaining Group did not have any charge on assets.
Capital commitments
As at 31 December 2017, the Remaining Group did not have any capital commitments.
Contingent liabilities
As at 31 December 2017, the Remaining Group did not have any contingent liabilities.
Exchange risk exposure and hedging
The Remaining Group’s foreign currency exposures primarily arose from the transactions made by operating units in Renminbi. In view of the fact that the Remaining Group tried to match its assets and liabilities with the same currency, the Remaining Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk was minimal and no hedge activity was considered necessary.
Significant investments and material acquisitions and/or disposals
On 19 September 2017, the Company (as purchaser) entered into an acquisition agreement with AVIC International (HK) Group Limited (as seller) and AVIC International Holding Corporation (as seller guarantor) as regards the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Motto Investment Limited and the Shareholder’s loan owed by it to AVIC International (HK) Group Limited. Details of the said acquisition can be found in the circular of the Company dated 29 December 2017.
Save for the above disclosed, the Remaining Group did not have any significant investments and/or material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries and associated companies during FY2017.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP
APPENDIX III
Future Plans for Material Investments and Acquisition of Capital Assets
Save for the acquisition of Motto Investment Limited, the Remaining Group did not have any future plan for material investments nor addition of capital assets during FY2017.
Staff and remuneration policy
As at 31 December 2017, the Remaining Group had approximately 10 employees. The staff cost (excluding directors’ remunerations) of the Remaining Group was approximately HK$6.1 million.

(ii) 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.

The Remaining Group’s remuneration policies are based on the performance of individual employees and are reviewed regularly.
(iii) FY 2015
During FY2015, the Remaining Group’s revenue from continuing operations amounted to approximately HK$7.6 million (FY2014: HK$17.4 million). The decrease in revenue was mainly 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.
Operating Segment Information
During FY2015, as the knitting and textile business had been reclassified to a discontinued operation, the Remaining Group had only one operating segment, the trading business segment, which engaged in the trading of raw materials and auxiliary materials. For FY2015, the trading business segment recorded a profit of approximately HK$0.2 million.

(a) Bank loans of US$180,000,000 and EUR46,975,000 (equivalent to HK$1,810,363,000 in aggregate) borrowed by the subsidiaries of Motto Investment Limited shall be purchased by AVIC HK which shall subsequently sell these two loans to Motto Investment Limited in return for the issuance by Motto Investment Limited of interest free, unsecured and repayable on demand loan note(s) in the same aggregate principal amount as the two loans (the “Loan Note(s)”). Such Loan Note(s) together with the entire issued share capital of Motto Investment Limited will be sold to the Company.
-
(b) Motto Group shall repay the loan due to a fellow subsidiary of the Group amounting to US$48,200,000 (equivalent to HK$373,550,000) using the funds from additional equity investment by AVIC International Holding Corporation (“AVIC International”), the immediate holding company of Motto Group before the completion of the Acquisition.
-
iv. The total purchase consideration of the Acquisition shall be satisfied by the Company by the issue and allotment of 3,783,783,783 consideration shares and cash consideration of HK$1,000,000,000 payable in two instalments as set out in (a) and (b) below and is calculated as follows:

- (b) Actual goodwill or gain on bargain purchase arising from the Acquisition will be determined based on fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Motto Group and the aggregate fair value of the total consideration at the actual completion date. When the actual transactions take place, different fair values may be determined which consequently may result in a financial effect which is materially different from the above.

APPENDIX IV
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP
Since the fair value of the consideration shares and the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of Motto Group as at the completion date may be different from the above, the resulting amount of goodwill or gain on bargain purchase at the date of Acquisition may be different. If the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of Motto Group is higher than the fair value of the total consideration transferred as at the completion date, a gain on bargain purchase will be resulted. If the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of Motto Group is lower than the fair value of the total consideration transferred as at the completion date, goodwill will be resulted.
-
vi. The adjustments represent the additional cost of sales, depreciation and amortisation together with the corresponding deferred income tax impact arising from the fair value adjustments per Note v(a) above as if the Acquisition had been effected at the beginning of the reporting period.
-
vii. The adjustment represents savings in finance costs incurred for the loans in Note iii above and the corresponding income tax impact, as if the Acquisition and the Preceding Loans Restructuring had been effected at the beginning of the reporting period.
-
viii. The adjustment represents estimated direct expenses of audit, legal, valuation and other professional services of approximately HK$25,412,000 related to the Acquisition and the Preceding Loans Restructuring. These expenses are charged to the Enlarged Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss. The adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.
-
ix. The adjustments represent the reclassification of balances with AVIC International as balances with the immediate holding company recorded by Motto Group to balances with an intermediate holding company of the Enlarged Group.
-
x. Foreign currency amounts in US$ and EUR have been translated into HK$ at the exchange rate of US$1.00 to HK$7.75 and EUR1.00 to HK$8.84, respectively.

Unit B, 15th, United Centre No. 95 Queensway Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
- Re: Valuation of 2 properties located in Dalian City of Liaoning Province and Chongqing in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
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 interest 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 28 February 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”.

PROPERTY VALUTION REPORT
APPENDIX V
According to the purpose for the property 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 in Group III by the comparison 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 available in the market. This approach rests on the wide acceptance of the market 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 lease terms is longer than 2 years, and the rental market is active. We take into account the net rental income of the properties 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 fair 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 value.
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 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.

PROPERTY VALUTION REPORT
APPENDIX V
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 and 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.
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 on 12 February 2018 and 26 April 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 finished some courses referring to property valuation and real estate investment.
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.

APPENDIX V
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.
