INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcements.

It was announced that on 27 January 2016 and 17 February 2016, the Agreement was entered into between Mr. Mak (as the vendor) and the Company (as the purchaser) pursuant to which Mr. Mak has agreed to sell the Total Sale Shares to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at a total consideration of HK$250,200,000 to be satisfied by the issue of the Convertible Bonds of principal amount of HK$250,200,000 and Mr. Mak has also agreed to sell and assign the Total Shareholder’s Loans to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at the Cash Consideration. The Total Sale Shares comprise the First Sale Shares and the Second Sale Shares, which represent 100% of the existing issued share capital of the First Target Company and the Second Target Company, respectively, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Transactions are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Transactions constitute a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Mak is a Director and the controlling shareholder of the Company and he owns personally and indirectly through private companies a total of 456,098,731 Shares, representing approximately 54.79% of the existing issued share capital of the Company.

The Transactions will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. Mr. Mak and his associates will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Transactions at the SGM.

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Agreement have been negotiated and will be conducted on an arm’s length basis and are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. The SGM will be convened and held to approve the Transactions. Mr. Mak and his associates will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Transaction at the SGM.

The Independent Board Committee has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Agreement and the Transactions.

An Independent Financial Adviser, Gram Capital, has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Agreement and the Transactions are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The purpose of this circular is to:

  • (i) provide the Shareholders with details of the Agreement and the Transactions and the valuation report of the Properties;

  • (ii) set out the opinion of Gram Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Agreement and the Transactions;

  • (iii) set out the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Agreement and the Transactions; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration of the Transactions

The consideration for the purchase of the Total Sale Shares will be HK$250,200,000 (the ‘‘Share Consideration’’), which will be satisfied by the Company by issue of the Convertible Bonds of total principal amount of HK$250,200,000, credited as fully paid upon issue.

The Total Shareholder’s Loans will be assigned to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at its book value, on a dollar-to-dollar basis at Completion. The estimated consideration of the purchase and assignment of the Total Shareholder’s Loans will be approximately HK$25,661,721 (based on the book value of the Total Shareholder’s Loans as at 31 December 2015) (‘‘Cash Consideration’’), which will be satisfied by the Company in cash at Completion.

The total consideration for the Transactions which comprises the Share Consideration and the Cash Consideration (based on the total Shareholder’s Loan of HK$25,661,721 as at 31 December 2015), is approximately HK$275,861,721.

The Share Consideration of HK$250,200,000 was determined based on the unaudited adjusted net asset value of the Target Groups of HK$251,882,899, which was arrived at based on the net total of following sums:

  • (a) the aggregate market value of the Properties of HK$434,400,000 (which comprises market value of HK$219,600,000 for the First Property and HK$214,800,000 for the Second Property) as at 31 December 2015 as appraised by Grant Sherman; and

  • (b) the unaudited combined net liabilities of the Target Groups of HK$182,517,101 (which comprised unaudited consolidated net liabilities of HK$91,798,632 for the First Target Group and HK$90,718,469 for the Second Target Group) as at 31 December 2015, which represented the unaudited book value of the net liabilities of the Target Groups (including the First Shareholder’s Loan of HK$14,063,559 and the Second Shareholder’s Loan of HK$11,598,162), after deduction of the unaudited book value of other assets (excluding the book value of the Properties) of the Target Groups as at 31 December 2015.

A discount of approximately 0.67% was applied to the adjusted net asset value of the Target Groups of HK$251,882,899 in arriving at the Share Consideration of HK$250,200,000.

The Company and Mr. Mak have taken into account the following factors in arriving at the Share Consideration:

  • (i) current luxury residential property market in Hong Kong: the Directors consider that the current adjustments in the residential property market in Hong Kong affect mainly the small to medium-sized flats. Luxury residential market continues to be strong and recent transactions indicate that prices of luxury properties remain firm;

  • (ii) current financial position of the Target Groups which has a net asset value of HK$251,882,899 after adjusting for the current market value of the Properties;

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) the valuation of the Properties as at 31 December 2015 as appraised by Grant Sherman;

  • (iv) potential rental income generation from the Proposed Tenancy Agreements and possible price appreciation of the Properties in the future as the Directors consider that the value of the Properties may continue to rise because of excellent location and quality of the Properties and the scarcity of supply of luxury properties in Hong Kong. After Completion, the Company intends that the First Target Subsidiary and the Second Target Subsidiary will enter into the Property Tenancy Agreements with Mr. Mak to lease the First Property and the Second Property, respectively to Mr. Mak for residential use, each for a term commencing from the Completion Date to 31 December 2017 at the proposed monthly rental of HK$270,000 and HK$260,000 (inclusive of management fee and government rents and rates), respectively and the proposed rental is determined based on the preliminary market rental appraised by Grant Sherman. The Cap Amounts for the Continuing Connected Transactions for the period from the expected Completion Date to 31 December 2016 is HK$6,000,000 and for the year ending 31 December 2017 is HK$7,000,000. As the proposed monthly rental is determined based on market rental appraised by Grant Sherman, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the terms of the Proposed Tenancy Agreements are on commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 27 January 2016, the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the lease of the Properties contemplated under the Proposed Tenancy Agreements are more than 0.1% but less than 5% and the proposed annual rental is more than HK$3,000,000. As such, the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts are subject to the announcement, annual reporting and annual review requirements as set out in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are exempted from the circular and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules;

  • (v) settlement of the Share Consideration by means of the Convertible Bonds which will not involve any immediate cash outlay for the Company; and

  • (vi) the benefits to be derived by the Group from the Transactions as set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Reasons for and the benefits of the Transactions’’ of this circular.

On the basis of the above factors, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers the Share Consideration to be fair and reasonable to the Company, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Events of default: After the occurrence of an event of default as specified in the Instrument and the CB Conditions, the Bondholder may give notice to the Company that the Convertible Bonds, on the giving of such notice, are immediately due and payable.

Voting rights: The Bondholder will not be entitled to vote at any meetings of the Company by reason only of it being the holder of the Convertible Bonds.

Listing: The Convertible Bonds will not be listed on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange. An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares.

The initial Conversion Price of the Convertible Bonds of HK$0.90 per Conversion Share (subject to adjustment pursuant to the CB Conditions) represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 2.17% to the closing price of HK$0.92 a Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 7.79% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.976 a Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 13.21% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.037 a Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days up to including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 10.89% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.010 a Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 trading days up to including the Last Trading Day;

  • (v) a premium of approximately 0.33% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.897 a Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 60 trading days up to including the Last Trading Day;

  • (vi) a discount of approximately 9.09% to the closing price of HK$0.99 a Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 70% over the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share of approximately HK$2.99, based on the latest unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$2,485 million as at 30 June 2015 and the existing total number of Shares in issue of 832,394,907 Shares.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The market price of the Share has been trading at significant discount to the attributable net asset value per Share for many years and therefore the discount of the Conversion Price to the net asset value per Share is in line with the trend of discount between the market price of the Share and its net asset value.

As (i) the Share Consideration represents a slight discount of 0.67% to the adjusted net assets of the Target Groups attributable to the Total Sale Shares, based on the market value of the Properties; (ii) the Share Consideration will be settled by means of the Convertible Bonds, which if partly or fully exercised will enlarge the capital base of the Company and this settlement method does not require immediate cash outlay of the Company in order to conserve cash of the Company; and (iii) the benefits to be derived by the Group from the Transactions as set out in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and the benefits of the Transactions’’ of this circular, the Directors consider that the small discount of the Conversion Price to the current price of the Share is considered to be fair and reasonable.

Amendment of the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds from three years to eight years under the Supplemental Agreement

The maturity date of the Convertible Bonds was amended under the Supplemental Agreement from three years from the date of issue to eight years from the date of issue The Board considers that in view of the high value of the Properties, the eight-year maturity of the Convertible Bonds is fair and reasonable. The Board considers that extension of the term of the Convertible Bonds from three years to eight years will allow a longer conversion period to the Bondholders to convert the Convertible Bonds and hence will encourage them to convert the Convertible Bonds into Shares during the term of the Convertible Bonds. The long maturity date will encourage the Bondholders to convert the Convertible Bonds into the Shares in order that they can enjoy the possible price appreciation and dividend yield of the Shares, on the assumption the price of the Share will rise. As such, the extension of the maturity date to eight years will enhance the chance that the Convertible Bonds will be converted into Shares before maturity and hence will increase the chance that the principal of the Convertible Bonds will not be required to be repaid at maturity. The Board takes the view that the 8-year maturity date will discourage the Bondholder(s) from holding the Convertible Bonds to maturity as the Bondholder(s) would have to wait for a long time of eight years before they can get back the principal of the Convertible Bonds from repayment at maturity. On the other hand, if the Bondholder(s) holds the Convertible Bonds to maturity, the Company will have eight years’ time before it needs to consider financing for repayment of principal. As such, the Board considers that longer term of Convertible Bonds will allow greater flexibility and more time to the Company to arrange and plan for its funding needs and conserve its cash resources for a longer period for the Group’s development and hence will enhance the Group’s financial position. Furthermore, loans relating to investment properties normally have longer maturity dates as investment properties are normally held for long-term purposes. The term of most of the Group’s bank loans secured by charge on the Group’s investment properties is 15 years or more.

The Convertible Bonds carry interest of 5% per annum and the annual interest payment on the Convertible Bonds assuming no conversion is approximately HK$12.5 million. The Board considers that the 5% interest rate is fair and reasonable for a long-term unsecured loan like the

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Convertible Bonds as this interest rate is equal to or lower than the best lending rate of 5% to 5.25% offered by banks in Hong Kong. The 5% coupon is also less than the effective interest rate of 6.34% of the Convertible Bonds as assessed by GCA for preparation of the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular. Although the eight-year term of the Convertible Bonds may incur additional interest payment of up to five years to the Company for a maximum of up to HK$62.5 million (assuming that there is no conversion of any of the Convertible Bonds before maturity), the extension of the maturity date will increase the chance of having the Convertible Bonds converted into the Shares before maturity. The conversion of the Convertible Bonds will not only save interest cost for the Company but will also eliminate the Company’s liability for principal repayment. The Board considers that the increase of chance of having the Convertible Bonds converted which will avoid principal repayment is more important to the Company and would outweigh the possible additional interest costs as a result of the extension.

Based on the above analysis, the Board considers that the eight-year maturity date of the Convertible Bonds is on normal commercial term, is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions Precedent of the Agreement:

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE TARGET GROUPS AND THE PROPERTIES

The Target Groups comprise the First Target Group and the Second Target Group. The First Target Group comprises the First Target Company which holds 100% of the existing issued share capital of the First Target Subsidiary, which in turn holds 100% ownership of the First Property. The Second Target Group comprises the Second Target Company which holds 100% of the existing issued share capital of the Second Target Subsidiary, which in turn holds 100% ownership of the Second Property. The Target Groups are principally engaged in property investment and holdings. The major assets of the Target Groups are the Properties, which are the two luxury residential properties at House 38 and House 39 and four car parking spaces on No. 56 Repulse Bay Road, Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. Each of House 38 and House 39 is a duplex house. At present, the Properties have been used by Mr. Mak for residential purpose free of charge. The gross floor area of House 38 is approximately 4,143 square feet plus a flat roof of approximately 1,172 square feet. The gross floor area of House 39 is approximately 4,053 square feet plus a flat roof of approximately 1,057 square feet. The Properties are located in one of Hong Kong’s most prestigious residential areas, on Repulse Bay. Situated on the beach side of the Repulse Bay Road, the Properties possess stunning views of the full sweep of Repulse Bay and the distant horizon across the vast South China Sea. It is one of the most sought after locations in Hong Kong by rich people and the supply of luxury houses in the area is very limited. Furthermore, the Group has already acquired House 36 and House 37 of No. 56 Repulse Bay Road for many years. As House 38 and House 39 are right above House 36 and House 37 and all four Houses, sharing one lift lobby, are attached together to form one whole block of large houses, which is detached and separate from the other blocks in the estate. The whole block comprising the four duplex Houses 36, 37, 38 and

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

39 has a total gross floor area of approximately 16,392 square feet plus total terrace area for House 36 and House 37 of approximately 3,766 square feet and total flat roof area for House 38 and House 39 of approximately 2,229 square feet with a total of eight car park spaces. The Directors believe that the supply of a block of luxury houses with such a large area is very scarce and the consolidation of the ownership by the Group of the whole block will enhance the value of all the four houses.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The issue and conversion of the Convertible Bonds will not result in a change of control of the Company.

REASONS FOR AND THE BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Group has been engaged in investment of properties and its investment property portfolio currently consists of luxury residential properties, office, and retail properties. This business segment has been performing well and has contributed significant earnings and fair value gains on revaluation of properties in the past years. The Directors believe that the luxury residential market will continue to outperform other sectors of the property markets in Hong Kong because of the scarcity of supply. The opportunity to acquire House 38 and House 39 will enable the Group to combine with its already owned House 36 and House 37 into a separate block of luxury residential complex of supreme quality and large space. The Directors believe that it is very difficult to find houses of such a large size, especially in prestigious area, like Repulse Bay. The Directors consider that the value of whole block of four houses combined together will be enhanced from the separate value of individual house added together. At present, the Properties are used by Mr. Mak for residential purposes free of charge. After Completion, the Properties will be let to Mr. Mak at market rental and this will generate rental income to Group immediately after Completion. This will save time and costs for the Group to find good and responsible tenants to lease the Properties. The Transactions will enable the Group to increase its investment in luxury residential market, which is expected to outperform other sectors of the property market and there is a potential of further rise in the value of these properties. Furthermore, the Share Consideration will be settled by way of the Convertible Bonds which will have a long maturity date of eight years. This long maturity date will encourage Bondholders to convert the Convertible Bonds into Shares during the term of the Convertible Bonds. Furthermore, if any Convertible Bonds will not be converted into Shares by the Bondholders during their term and are outstanding upon their maturity, the Company will only be required to fund repayment of their principal until their maturity which will only be due in year of 2024. Although interest at the coupon interest rate of 5% p.a. will be payable on the Convertible Bonds before they are converted into Shares, the long maturity date will enhance the chance that the Convertible Bonds will be converted into Shares before maturity and hence no interest payment and principal repayment is required for those Convertible Bonds after their conversion into Shares.

The Board has considered alternative financing methods to fund the Transactions including bank borrowings and fund raising from capital markets (such as rights issue and placing of new shares). As the Target Subsidiaries have already borrowed mortgage loans from a bank close to the 40% limit permitted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Board considers that it is very difficult to raise further bank borrowings to finance the consideration for the Transactions. With regard to fund raising from the capital markets, as the liquidity of the Shares is low and in view of the current volatility of the stock market, it is not easy and is expected to take a long time to find commercial underwriters (if there is any) which are willing to underwrite the fund raising exercise. In addition, a higher discount to the market price is expected in order to attract Shareholders or investors to invest funds into the Company to fund the Transactions. Furthermore, Mr. Mak is optimistic about the potential of future value appreciation of the Properties, whose view is shared by the Board. Had Mr. Mak not having the opportunity of increasing his percentage of shareholding interest in the Company through

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Transactions, he would not have agreed to enter into the Agreement which would result in his transferring the potential of future price appreciation of the Properties to the Group, Based on the above analysis, the Board considers that financing the Share Consideration by means of the Convertible Bonds is the best possible alternative, under the circumstances, to finance the Transactions for the Company. This settlement method will therefore conserve the cash resources of the Group and enhance its financial position. If the Convertible Bonds are converted into Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares will expand the capital of the Company and further improve the financial position of the Group.

In light of the benefits above, the Directors believe that the terms of the Agreement and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable, and in the interests of Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

After Completion, members of the Target Groups will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their accounts will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. The financial effects of the Transactions are elaborated.

(a) Net profits

The Company expects that the Transactions will generate rental income of approximately HK$6.4 million per annum, as the First Target Subsidiary and the Second Target Subsidiary will lease the Properties to Mr. Mak immediately after Completion. On the other hand, the Group will incur effective interest expense (including the 5% coupon interest) on the liability component of the Convertible Bonds and the bank loans of approximately HK$14.7 million and HK$2 million per annum, respectively, which result in annual net interest cost of approximately HK$10.3 million per annum. However, the interest costs on the Convertible Bonds will be reduced if the Convertible Bonds are converted into the Shares. Furthermore, any fair value gain/loss arising from the revaluation of the investment Properties each year will be credited/debited to the profit or loss of the Group.

(b) Net assets

Based on the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to the Circular and assuming that the Transactions were completed on 30 June 2015, for illustration purpose only, the Transactions would give rise to the following effects to the assets and liabilities of the Group:

  • (i) an increase in non-current assets of approximately HK$434 million, which represented the recognition of the Properties at their market value;

  • (ii) a decrease of current assets of approximately HK$26 million, which represented the cash consideration of approximately HK$26 million payable to the Vendor;

  • (iii) an increase in current liabilities of approximately HK$157 million, as a result of consolidation of the bank loans of the Target Groups;

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) an increase in non-current liabilities of approximately HK$232 million, which represented the fair value of the liability component of Convertible Bonds; and

  • (v) an increase of approximately HK$20 million in the net asset value of the Group.

Based on the above analysis, the financial position of the Enlarged Group is expected to improve slightly as a result of the Transactions. The Enlarged Group’s financial position is expected to improve further if the Convertible Bonds are converted into the Shares.

(c) The gearing

Based on the 2015 interim report of the Group, the Group’s gearing ratio (representing total borrowings as a percentage of the sum total of equity and total borrowings) was approximately 30.3% as at 30 June 2015. Based on the pro forma statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix III to this circular, the gearing ratio would increase to approximately 36.9% after Completion. The increase in the gearing ratio as a result of the Transactions is not expected to be significant.

The financial effect of the Transactions set out in section was prepared based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group for illustration purposes. As a number of assumptions have been made in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma information of the Enlarged Group, the financial effects of the Transactions as elaborated above may not give a true picture of the actual financial effects of the Transactions on the Group, which will depend on the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Groups and the liability component of the Convertible Bonds at Completion.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Looking forward, the Board is of the view that the local and global economic and political uncertainty will remain a challenge to the Enlarged Group.

The Enlarged Group is confident in its property portfolio, in view of their good location and quality. The Group will capitalize its strength in the property business and will continue to explore proposals to further enhance their rental yield and value. The Enlarged Group will expand its luxury property portfolio as a result of the Transactions, as the Directors consider that luxury properties will outperform other sectors of the property market in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the acquisition of the Properties through the Transactions will generate additional rental income of approximately HK$6.4 million per annum to the Enlarged Group.

The Enlarged Group is happy with the performance of Blackbird’s multi-faceted automotive business. The Enlarged Group maintains its firm commitment to grow its automotive business into a worldwide leader in the region. Blackbird will continue to explore opportunities to expand and grow the business, both vertically and horizontally. The Enlarged Group expects this new automotive venture will deliver strong growth in revenue, profit and cash flow in coming years for the benefit of the Enlarged Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Enlarged Group has entered into the cultural media business, initially in the production and worldwide distribution of films, targeting the huge global cultural media market, including the fast-growing cultural industries in the PRC. The Enlarged Group expects that this new business will have excellent prospects and enormous growth potentials.

The financial position of the Enlarged Group remains solid and healthy. As the Share Consideration will be settled by way of the Convertible Bonds, which will not require immediate cash outlay and will therefore conserve the cash resources of the Enlarged Group. If the Convertible Bonds are converted into Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares will expand the capital of the Company and further improve the financial position of the Enlarged Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Major and Connected Transactions for the Company

As the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Transactions are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Transactions constitute a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Mak is a Director and the controlling shareholder of the Company and he owns personally and indirectly through private companies a total of 456,098,731 Shares, representing approximately 54.79% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. Mr. Mak is therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As such, the Transactions constitute a major transaction and a non-exempt connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. The Transactions will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. Mr. Mak and his associates will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Transactions at the SGM.

GENERAL

As Mr. Mak has a material interest in the Agreement, he has to abstain and he did abstain from voting on the Board resolutions to approve the Agreement and the Transactions. None of the other Directors (other than Mr. Mak) has any material interest in the Agreement and therefore, no other Directors have to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions to approve the Agreement and the Transactions.

An Independent Board Committee consisting of Mr. Tam King Ching, Kenny, Mr. Chow Siu Ngor and Mr. Chen Li, who are independent non-executive directors of the Company and who have no material interest in the Transactions, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Agreement and the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. The Company has appointed Gram Capital as the Independent Financial Adviser of the Company to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Transactions, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board Letter’’) contained in the circular dated 9 March 2016 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

On 27 January 2016, the Company and Mr. Mak entered into the Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement dated 17 February 2016), pursuant to which the parties thereto conditionally agreed to (i) sell the Total Sale Shares to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at total consideration of HK$250,200,000; and (ii) to sell and assign the Total Shareholder’s Loans to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at the Cash Consideration. The Total Sale Shares comprises the First Sale Shares and the Second Sale Shares, which represents 100% of the existing issued share capital of the First Target Company and the Second Target Company.

With reference to the Board Letter, the Transactions constitute major transactions for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Mak is a Director and the controlling shareholder of the Company. Mr. Mak is therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Transactions also constitute non-exempt connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Tam King Ching, Kenny, Mr. Chow Siu Ngor and Mr. Chen Li, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on (i) whether the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) whether the Transactions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM. We, Gram Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any relationships or interests between Gram Capital and the Company, Mr. Mak or any other parties that could be reasonably regarded as hindrance to Gram Capital’s independence to act as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and the information and representations as provided to us by the Directors. We have assumed that all information and representations that have been provided by the Directors, for which they are solely and wholly responsible, are true and accurate at the time when they were made and continue to be so as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion, expectation and intention made by the Directors in the Circular were reasonably made after due enquiry and careful consideration. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and facts contained in the Circular, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the Company, its advisers and/or the Directors, which have been provided to us. Our opinion is based on the Directors’ representation and confirmation that there are no undisclosed private agreements/ arrangements or implied understanding with anyone concerning the Transactions. We consider that we have taken sufficient and necessary steps on which to form a reasonable basis and an informed view for our opinion in compliance with Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules.

We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the Group, First Target Company or Second Target Company, and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, save and except for the valuation report of the Properties (the ‘‘Valuation Report’’) as set out in Appendix IV to the Circular. The Valuation Report was prepared by Grant Sherman. Since we are not experts in the valuation of land and properties, we have relied solely upon the Valuation Report for the market value of the Properties (which comprises the market value of the First Property (the ‘‘First Property Value’’) and the market value of the Second Property (the ‘‘Second Property Value’’)) as at 31 December 2015.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Directors have collectively and individually accepted full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, which to the best of their knowledge and belief, that the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular or the Circular misleading. We, as the Independent Financial Adviser, take no responsibility for the contents of any part of the Circular, save and except for this letter of advice.

We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company, Mr. Mak, the First Target Company, the Second Target Company or their respective subsidiaries or associates, nor have we considered the taxation implication on the Group or the Shareholders as a result of the Transactions. Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date. Shareholders should note that subsequent developments (including any material change in market and economic conditions) may affect and/or change our opinion and we have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account events occurring after the Latest Practicable Date or to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion. In addition, nothing contained in this letter should be construed as a recommendation to hold, sell or buy any Shares or any other securities of the Company.

Lastly, where information in this letter has been extracted from published or otherwise publicly available sources, it is the responsibility of Gram Capital to ensure that such information has been correctly extracted from the relevant sources while we are not obligated to conduct any independent in-depth investigation into the accuracy and completeness of those information.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Transactions, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of and reasons for the Transactions

Business overview of the Group

With reference to the Board Letter, the Group is principally engaged in (i) property development and property trading; (ii) property investment and holding; (iii) manufacture and sale of plastic components; (iv) the securities business; (v) trading and sale of classic cars; (vi) investment in classic cars; (vii) automotive service business; and (viii) cultural media business.

Set out below are the financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and the two years ended 31 December 2014 as extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (the ‘‘2015 Interim Report’’) and the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 (the ‘‘2014 Annual Report’’):

As illustrated by the above table, the Group recorded a decrease of approximately 69.86% in revenue for its continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2014 (‘‘FY2014’’) as compared to the year ended 31 December 2013 (‘‘FY2013’’). With reference to the 2014 Annual Report and as confirmed by the Directors, the decline was mainly caused by the absence of sales of new property project in FY2014. Nevertheless, the Group was able to achieve a 54.31% increase in profit attributable to owners of the parent for FY2014 as compared to FY2013. The substantial increase in profit was largely driven by gains on disposal of subsidiaries of HK$516 million, which was categorized as ‘‘other income’’ for FY2014.

With reference to the 2014 Annual Report, the Group will pursue several strategic objectives, including (i) to further strengthen the Group’s financial resources; (ii) to improve performance and seek expansions in our main business units including the Hong

– 34 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Kong property development and trading business, property investment, and the securities business; (iii) commit to build up and grow the multi-faceted automotive business of the Blackbird Automotive Group; and (iv) to capture new business opportunities.

Information on the Target Groups

With reference to the Board Letter, the Target Groups comprise the First Target Group and the Second Target Group. The First Target Group comprises the First Target Company which holds 100% of the existing issued share capital of the First Target Subsidiary, which in turn holds 100% ownership of the First Property. The Second Target Group comprises the Second Target Company which holds 100% of the existing issued share capital of the Second Target Subsidiary, which in turn holds 100% ownership of the Second Property.

The Target Groups are principally engaged in property investment and holdings. The major assets of the Target Groups are the Properties, which are the two luxury residential properties at House 38 and House 39 and four car parking spaces on No. 56 Repulse Bay Road, Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. Each of House 38 and House 39 is a duplex house.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Properties are being used by Mr. Mak for residence. After Completion, (i) the First Property will be let to Mr. Mak at market rental of HK$270,000 per month (inclusive of management fee and government rents and rates); and (ii) the Second Property will be let to Mr. Mak at market rental of HK$260,000 per month (inclusive of management fee and government rents and rates).

Reasons for the Transactions

With reference to the Board Letter, the Group has been engaged in investment of properties and its investment property portfolio currently consists of luxury residential properties, office, and retail properties. This business segment has been performing well and has contributed significant earnings and fair value gains on revaluation of properties in the past years. The Directors believe that the luxury residential market will continue to outperform other sectors of the property market in Hong Kong because of the scarcity of supply.

The opportunity to acquire House 38 and House 39 will enable the Group to combine with its already owned House 36 and House 37 into a separate block of luxury residential complex of supreme quality and large space. The Directors believe that it is very difficult to find houses of such a large size, especially in prestigious area, like Repulse Bay. The Directors consider that the value of whole block of four houses combined together will be enhanced from the separate value of individual house added together.

Furthermore, the Properties will be let to Mr. Mak at market rental and this will generate rental income to the Group immediately after Completion. This will save time and costs for the Group to find good and responsible tenants to lease the Properties. The Transactions will enable the Group to increase its investment in luxury residential market, which is expected to outperform other sectors of the property market and there is a potential of further rise in the value of these properties.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Share Consideration will be settled by way of the Convertible Bonds which have a long maturity date of eight years (the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds was amended from three years from date of issue to eight years from the date of issue under the Supplemental Agreement). This long maturity date will encourage Bondholders to convert the Convertible Bonds into Shares during the term of the Convertible Bonds. Furthermore, if any Convertible Bonds will not be converted into Shares by the Bondholders during their term and are outstanding upon their maturity, the Company will only be required to fund the repayment of their principal until their maturity which will only be due in year of 2024. This will therefore conserve the cash resources of the Group and enhance its financial position. If the Convertible Bonds are converted into Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares will expand the capital of the Company and further improve the financial position of the Group.

Despite the additional interest expenses to be incurred for a longer term of the Convertible Bonds, we considered that the amendment of the extension of the term of the Convertible Bonds from three years to eight years will allow a longer conversion period to the Bondholders to convert the Convertible Bonds. Hence, the probability of conversion is theoretically increased. In addition, even if the Convertible Bonds are not converted into Shares during Conversion Period and remain outstanding on the maturity date, the Group can conserve its cash resources for a longer period for the Group’s development and may hence enhance its financial position.

With reference to the Board Letter, the Board has considered alternative financing methods to fund the Transactions including bank borrowings and fund raising from capital markets (such as rights issue and placing of new shares), details of which are set out under the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and the benefits of the Transactions’’ in the Board Letter. We noted from the accountant’s report of the Target Groups as contained in Appendix II to the Circular that (i) the bank borrowings of the First Target Group as at 31 December 2015 which is secured over the First Property represented over 35% of the First Property Value; and (ii) the bank borrowings of the Second Target Group as at 31 December 2015 which is secured over the Second Property represented over 35% of the Second Property Value. Such percentages are closed to the ‘‘40% limit’’ as mentioned in the Board Letter. Having also discussed with the Directors for better understanding on the Board’s consideration, we concur with the Directors’ view that bank borrowings may be difficult for the financing of the Transactions and other equity fund raising activities will incur additional time and cost.

Despite that the Transactions will (i) possibly increase the Enlarged Group’s gearing level (according to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group (the ‘‘Pro Forma Information’’) as contained in Appendix III to the Circular, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group would be approximately 36.9% if Completion had taken place on 30 June 2015); and (ii) incur interest expenses at a maximum of HK$100.08 million, in view of (a) the foregoing potential benefits of the Transactions and that the Transactions are in line with the Group’s strategy; and (b) the terms of the Convertible Bonds (including its interest rate and maturity date) are fair and reasonable as demonstrated under the section headed ‘‘Principal terms of the Agreement’’ below, we concur with the

– 36 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Directors that the Transactions (including the issue of the Convertible Bonds with a long maturity date) are on normal commercial terms, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Principal terms of the Agreement

The Agreement

On 27 January 2016, the Agreement (as amended by the supplemental agreement dated 17 February 2016) was entered into between Mr. Mak (as the vendor) and the Company (as the purchaser) pursuant to which Mr. Mak has agreed to sell the Total Sale Shares to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at a total consideration of HK$250,200,000 to be satisfied by the issue of the Convertible Bonds of principal amount of HK$250,200,000 and Mr. Mak has also agreed to sell and assign the Total Shareholder’s Loans to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at the Cash Consideration.

The Total Sale Shares comprise the First Sale Shares and the Second Sale Shares, which represent 100% of the existing issued share capital of the First Target Company and the Second Target Company, respectively, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Details of the terms of the Agreement are set out under the section headed ‘‘The Agreement and the Transactions’’ in the Board Letter.

The Share Consideration

The Share Consideration for the purchase of the Total Sale Shares will be HK$250,200,000, which will be satisfied by the Company by issue of the Convertible Bonds of total principal amount of HK$250,200,000, credited as fully paid upon issue.

The Share Consideration of HK$250,200,000 was determined based on the unaudited adjusted net asset value of the Target Groups, which was arrived at based on the net total of following sums:

  • (i) the preliminary aggregate market value of the Properties of HK$434,400,000 (which comprises market value of HK$219,600,000 for the First Property and HK$214,800,000 for the Second Property) as at 31 December 2015 as appraised by Grant Sherman;

  • (ii) the unaudited net liabilities of the Target Groups (the ‘‘Target Groups’ Net Liabilities’’) of HK$182,517,101 (which comprised unaudited consolidated net liabilities of HK$91,798,632 for the First Target Group and HK$90,718,469 for the Second Target Group) as at 31 December 2015 which represented the unaudited book value of the net liabilities of the Target Groups (including the First Shareholder’s Loan of HK$14,063,559 and the Second Shareholder’s Loan of HK$11,598,162), after deduction of the unaudited book value of other assets (excluding the book value of the Properties) of the Target Groups as at 31 December 2015; and

– 37 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

(iii) a discount of approximately 0.67%.

According to the Valuation Report, the aggregated market value of the Properties as at 31 December 2015 was HK$434,400,000 (the ‘‘Aggregated MV’’).

We noted that the sum of value of (i) the Target Groups’ Net Liabilities; and (ii) the Aggregated MV, is HK$251,882,899 (the ‘‘Net Value’’). As such, the Share Consideration represents a slight discount of 0.67% to the Net Value.

The Cash Consideration

The Total Shareholder’s Loans will be assigned to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at its book value, on a dollar-to-dollar basis at Completion. The estimated consideration of the purchase and assignment of the Total Shareholder’s Loans will be approximately HK$25,661,721 (based on the book value of the Total Shareholder’s Loans as at 31 December 2015), which will be satisfied by the Company in cash at Completion.

The Aggregated MV

As aforementioned, the Aggregated MV was HK$434,400,000 as at 31 December 2015 according to the Valuation Report.

We have reviewed the Valuation Report and interviewed with Grant Sherman regarding the methodology adopted and the basis and assumptions used in arriving at the Valuation Report. Based on the Valuation Report, Grant Sherman has adopted the comparison approach assuming sale in their existing state by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the relevant market. As confirmed by Grant Sherman, this approach is considered as a generally accepted valuation approach for valuing real estate and is also consistent with normal market practice.

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of Grant Sherman with the Company; (ii) Grant Sherman’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by Grant Sherman for the preparation of the Valuation Report. Moreover, we have interviewed Grant Sherman as to its qualifications, expertise and independence to the Group, Mr. Mak, the Target Groups and their respective associates and we have reviewed their terms of engagement. During our discussion with Grant Sherman, we have not identified any major factor which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Valuation Report.

– 38 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Nevertheless, Shareholders should note that valuation of assets or properties involves assumptions and therefore the Aggregated MV may or may not reflect the true market value of the Properties accurately.

In light of the above and that (i) the Share Consideration represents a slight discount to the Net Value; and (ii) the Total Shareholder’s Loans will be assigned to the Company or its designated nominee(s) at its book value, on a dollar-to-dollar basis at Completion, we are of the view that both of the Share Consideration and Cash Consideration are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The Convertible Bonds

As aforementioned, the Share Consideration will be satisfied by the Company by issue of the Convertible Bonds of total principal amount of HK$250,200,000, credited as fully paid upon issue.

The Conversion Price is HK$0.90 per Conversion Share (subject to adjustments pursuant to the CB Conditions). The Convertible Bonds carry an interest rate of 5% per annum (the ‘‘Interest Rate’’) and will mature on the eighth anniversary of the date of issue of the Convertible Bonds (which must be a Business Day, and if not, the Business Day immediately following). The Conversion Price of HK$0.90 per Conversion Share represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 2.17% to the closing price of HK$0.920 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 26 January 2016, being the last trading day of the Shares immediately before the date of the Agreement (the ‘‘Last Trading Day’’) (the ‘‘LTD Discount’’);

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 4.26% to the closing price of HK$0.940 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Agreement;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 9.09% to the closing price of HK$0.99 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 69.85% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Shares of approximately HK$2.99, based on the latest unaudited net asset value attributable to owner of the Company of approximately HK$2,485 million as at 30 June 2015 and the total number of 832,394,907 existing Shares in issue.

Details of the terms of the Convertible Bonds are set out under the section headed ‘‘Principal terms of the Convertible Bonds’’ in the Board Letter.

Note: Trading in Shares were halted from 27 April 2015 to 5 May 2015.

During the Review Period, the lowest and highest closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK$1.32 per Share recorded on 8 January 2016 and HK$0.76 recorded on 23 September 2015, 30 September 2015, 16 November 2015, 17 November 2015 and 15 December 2015 to 21 December 2015 respectively. The initial Conversion Price of HK$0.90 is within the range of the lowest and highest closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the Review Period. Furthermore, we noted that during the Review Period, the initial Conversion Price was above or equal to the closing price of the Shares in 134 trading days out of the total 237 trading days. The initial Conversion Price represents a slight discount of approximately 1.41% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.91 per Share for the Review Period.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price, the Interest Rate and the term of the Convertible Bonds, we have also identified, to the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, 25 issue of convertible notes/bonds under specific mandate (including standalone issue of convertible notes/bonds or issue of convertible notes/bonds as consideration for acquisition, to independent third parties or connected persons), which are exhaustive samples from 1 November 2015 to 27 January 2016 (the date of Agreement) (the ‘‘Comparables’’), being the recent three months period prior to and including the date of Agreement. We considered that both standalone issue of convertible notes/bonds and issue of convertible notes/bonds as consideration for acquisition are financing method to fund a company’s funding needs. In addition, given that the identity of the counterparties to the transactions (i.e. independent third parties or connected persons) may or may not affect the basis of determination of the terms of the transactions, we have included transactions with counterparties being independent third parties or connected persons to cover such possible circumstances for an objective and fair comparison with the issue of the Convertible Bonds under the Transactions. Given the above, we considered the Comparables to be fair and representative samples which are relevant to our analysis.

Shareholders should note that the business, operations and prospect of the Company may not be the same as the subject companies of the Comparables and thus the Comparables are only used to provide a general reference for the recent common market practice of Hong Kong listed companies in the issue of convertible notes/bonds.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  1. According to the announcement of the company dated 1 February 2016, the conversion price of the convertible bond was revised from HK$0.33 to HK$0.22, representing a premium of approximately 17.02% over the closing price per share on 1 February 2016.

  2. According to the announcement of the company dated 14 December 2015, the maturity date of the convertible bonds will be on the 31 December 2017.

  3. The conversion price shall be the average of the closing price of the shares for the five trading days immediately before the date of the conversion notice, provided that it shall not be lower than HK$0.115 per conversion share (according to the announcement of the company dated 22 December 2015) and not be higher than HK$0.22 per conversion share.

  4. According to the announcement of the company dated 29 December 2015, the maturity date of the convertible bonds will be on the 6 January 2019.

  5. The interest rate of the convertible bonds shall be 30% per annum prior to the fulfilment of certain conversion conditions and 5% per annum upon the fulfilment of such conversion conditions. For the calculation of average interest rate of the Comparables, we have adopted the average of the aforesaid interest rates (i.e. (30% + 5%)/2 = 17.5%).

With reference to the above table, the conversion prices of the convertible notes/ bonds of the Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 95.71% to a premium of approximately 71.34% with an average discount of approximately 3.23% to/over the respective closing price per share on the last trading day prior to/on the date of the announcement/agreement in relation to the respective issue. As such, the LTD Discount is within the aforementioned market range and less than the average discount of the Comparables. Accordingly, we considered the initial Conversion Price to be justifiable. Having also considered the comparison among the initial Conversion Price and the historical daily closing prices of the Shares as set out above, we are of the view that the initial Conversion Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

As shown by the above table, the Comparables carry an annual interest rate of nil to 30.00%; whereas the Convertible Bonds carry the Interest Rate of 5% per annum. Hence, the Interest Rate is within the range of the Comparables. Based on the foregoing, we consider that the Interest Rate is justifiable.

The term of the Convertible Bonds is eight years, which is higher than the range of the terms of the Comparables. Nevertheless, after taking into account into the benefits of a longer term of the Convertible Bonds as set out under the section headed “Reasons for the Transactions” above, we consider the term of the Convertible Bonds to be justifiable.

Taking into account the principal terms of the Agreement as discussed above, we consider that the terms of the Agreement (including the term of the Convertible Bonds) are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Possible dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders

As depicted by the table as set out under the section headed ‘‘Shareholding structure’’ of the Board Letter, the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders in the Company would be diluted by approximately 11.29 percent point as a result of the allotment and issue of the Conversion Share upon full exercise of conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.90 per Conversion Share (subject to adjustments pursuant to the CB Conditions). In this regard, taking into account (i) the reasons for and possible benefits of the Transactions; (ii) the terms of the Agreement being fair and reasonable; (iii) the issue of the Convertible Bonds to settle Share Consideration would enable the Group to preserve its internal resources for future business development, we are of the view that the said level of dilution to the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders to be acceptable.

4. Possible financial effects of the Transactions

We were advised by the Directors that upon completion of the Transactions, members of the Target Groups will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results, assets and liabilities will be fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is included in Appendix III to the Circular.

Effect on net asset value

As extracted from the 2015 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group was approximately HK$2,485 million as at 30 June 2015. According to the Pro Forma Information, (i) the total assets of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$4,153 million; (ii) the total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$1,648 million; and (iii) the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$2,505 million if Completion had taken place on 30 June 2015.

Effect on gearing

The Group’s gearing ratio (expressed as bank and other borrowings over total capital employed) was approximately 30.3% as at 30 June 2015. From the Pro Forma Information, the bank and other borrowings and the total capital employed of the Group would become approximately HK$1,467 million (including the liability component of the Convertible Bonds) and HK$3,972 million respectively. Consequently, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group would be approximately 36.9% if Completion had taken place on 30 June 2015.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analysis is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon Completion.

The performance of property investment segment remained satisfactory and recognised an operating profit of $16 million in the current period, as compared to an operating profit of $1 million in the corresponding period of 2014, primarily due to fair value gains of $16 million recorded on the Group’s investment properties during the period.

The component department reported revenue of $46 million, contributing 14.6% of the Group’s total revenue. The current period’s revenue of this segment registered a reduction of 20.7% as compared to the $58 million recorded in the last corresponding period, attributable to the decrease in sales of the telecom product business of the CCT Land Group, to which it supplied most of its component products.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. CORPORATE AND TARGET GROUP INFORMATION

The First Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the BVI on 26 April 2004. The registered office and the principal place of business of the Target Company is located at P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, BVI.

The First Target Company is an investment holding company.

As at the date of this report, the First Target Company had direct interests in its subsidiary which is a private limited liability company, the particulars of which are set out below:

Place and date of Percentage of equity
incorporation/ No. of issued attributable to the
registration and ordinary First Target
Name operations share Company Principal activities
Billion Industries Limited Hong Kong, 1 100 Property investment
9 June 2004 and holdings

2.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As at 31 December 2015, the First Target Group had net current liabilities of HK$91,798,632 and a deficiency in assets of HK$18,560,931. The First Target Group finances its operations by obtaining funding from its shareholder and an interest-bearing bank borrowings from a third party.

Mr. Mak Shiu Tong (‘‘Mr. Mak’’), a director and sole shareholder of the First Target Company, and have undertaken not to demand repayment of the amount due to him by the First Target Group until such time as the First Target Group is in a position to repay such amount without impairing its liquidity position. The Company has also agreed to provide continual financial support and adequate funds to the First Target Group to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due after the completion of the Acquisition.

The directors of the First Target Company is of the opinion that, taken into account the funding from him and the Company and internal financial resources of the First Target Group, the First Target Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements. Hence, the Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Information has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements of the First Target Group. The Underlying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention and is presented in Hong Kong dollars (‘‘HK$’’), and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the First Target Company. Control is achieved when the First Target Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the First Target Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

– II-7 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

When the First Target Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the First Target Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Target Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the First Target Company, using consistent accounting policies. The result of subsidiary are consolidated from the date on which the First Target Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the sole equity owner of the parent of the First Target Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between member of the First Target Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The First Target Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described in the accounting policy for subsidiary above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the First Target Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The First Target Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the First Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE HKFRSs

The First Target Group has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in the Financial Information.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its HKAS 28 (2011) Associate or Joint Venture[1] Amendments to HKFRS 10, Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception[1] HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28 (2011) Amendments to HKFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations[1] HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts[3] HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Disclosure Initiative[1] Amendments to HKAS 16 and Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and HKAS 38 Amortisation[1] Amendments to HKAS 16 and Agriculture: Bearer Plants[1] HKAS 41 Amendments to HKAS 27 (2011) Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements[1] Annual Improvements 2012–2014 Cycle Amendments to a number of HKFRSs[1]

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 3 Effective for an entity that first adopts HKFRSs for its annual financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and therefore is not applicable to the First Target Group

Except as described below, the directors of the First Target Company do not participate that the application of the new and revised HKFRSs will have material impact on the Financial Information.

HKFRS 9 Financial instruments

In September 2014, the HKICPA issued the final version of HKFRS 9, bringing together all phases of the financial instruments project to replace HKAS 39 and all previous versions of HKFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The First Target Group expects to adopt HKFRS 9 from 1 January 2018. The First Target Group expects that the adoption of HKFRS 9 will have an impact on the classification and measurement of the First Target Group’s financial assets. Further information about the impact will be available nearer the implementation date of the standard.

Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28 (2011) Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

Amendments to HKFRS 10 clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value. The amendments to HKFRS 10 also clarify that only a subsidiary that is not an investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. Consequential amendments were made to HKFRS 12 to require an investment entity that prepares financial statements in which all of its subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with HKFRS 9 to present the disclosures in respect of investment entities in accordance with HKFRS 12. HKAS 28 (2011) was also amended to allow an investor that is not itself an investment entity, and has an interest in an investment entity associate or joint venture, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to the interests in its subsidiaries. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the First Target Group as the First Target Company is not an investment entity as defined in HKFRS 10.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

  • Level 3 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

– II-9 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the First Target Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the First Target Group if:

  • (a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person

  • (i) has control or joint control over the First Target Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the First Target Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the First Target Group or of a parent of the First Target Group;

or

  • (b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) the entity and the First Target Group are members of the same group;

  • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);

  • (iii) the entity and the First Target Group are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of either the First Target Group or an entity related to the First Target Group;

– II-10 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Investment properties

Investment properties are interests in land and buildings held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.

Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year of the retirement or disposal.

For a transfer from investment properties to owner-occupied properties or inventories, the deemed cost of a property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If a property occupied by the First Target Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the First Target Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under ‘‘Property, plant and equipment and depreciation’’ up to the date of change in use, and any difference at that date between the carrying amount and the fair value of the property is accounted for as a revaluation in accordance with the policy stated under ‘‘Property, plant and equipment and depreciation’’ above. For a transfer from inventories to investment properties, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

The First Target Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables which are classified and accounted for as loans and receivables. Financial assets are recognised on the trade date.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment allowances. Any changes in their value are recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment loss on loans and receivables is recognised when there is objective evidence that the First Target Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.

Financial liabilities

The First Target Group’s financial liabilities include an amount due to Mr. Mak and interestbearing bank borrowings. Financial liabilities are recognised when the First Target Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

– II-11 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less when acquired, less bank overdrafts.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business.

Interest income from authorised institutions is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the effective interest rates applicable.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the First Target Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period are used to determine the deferred tax.

Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full while deferred tax assets are recognises to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Foreign currencies

The Financial Information is presented in HK$, which is the First Target Company and its subsidiary’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the First Target Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the First Target Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the

– II-12 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the cash flows of the First Target Group are translated into HK$ at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of the First Target Group which arise throughout the year are translated into HK$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the First Target Group’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgements

In the process of applying the First Target Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The First Target Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the First Target Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by the First Target Group.

The property comprises a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the First Target Group accounts for the portions separately. If these portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

– II-13 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

Estimation uncertainty

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

Estimation of fair value of investment properties

In the absence of current prices in an active market for similar properties, the First Target Group considers information from a variety of sources, including:

  • (a) current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, condition or location, adjusted to reflect those differences; and

  • (b) recent prices of similar properties on less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices.

The main risk arising from the First Target Group’s financial instruments is liquidity risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing this risk and is summarised below.

Liquidity risk

The First Target Group’s policy is to monitor regularly the current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash in short and long term. The First Target Group’s funding requirements are generally met by the advances from Mr. Mak which have undertaken not to demand repayment of the amount due by the First Target Group until such time when the First Target Group is in a position to repay such amount without impairing its liquidity position. Thus, the First Target Group, liquidity risk is minimised.

Capital management

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

The capital structure of the First Target Group consists of net debt, which includes advances from Mr. Mak net of bank balances and cash and equity attributable to the sole equity owner of the First Target Group, comprising paid-in capital and accumulated loss.

The directors of the First Target Group reviews the capital structure on a regular basis.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. CORPORATE AND TARGET GROUP INFORMATION

The Second Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the BVI on 23 September 2004. The registered office and the principal place of business of the Target Company is located at P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, BVI.

The Second Target Company is an investment holding company.

As at the date of this report, the Second Target Company had direct interests in its subsidiary which is a private limited liability company, the particulars of which are set out below:

Place and date of No. of
incorporation/ issued Percentage of equity
registration and ordinary held by the Second
Name operations share Target Company Principal activities
Grand Capital Development Hong Kong 1 100 Property investment
Limited 24 September 2004 and holdings

2.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As at 31 December 2015, the Second Target Group had net current liabilities of HK$90,718,469 and a deficiency in assets of HK$19,074,448. The Second Target Group finances its operations by obtaining funding from its shareholder and an interest-bearing bank borrowings from a third party.

Mr. Mak Shiu Tong (‘‘Mr. Mak’’), a director and sole shareholder of the Second Target Company, and has undertaken not to demand repayment of the amount due to him by the Second Target Group until such time as the Second Target Group is in a position to repay such amount without impairing its liquidity position. The Company has also agreed to provide continual financial support and adequate funds to the Second Target Group to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due after the completion of the Acquisition.

The directors of the Second Target Company is of the opinion that, taken into account the funding from him and the Company and internal financial resources of the Second Target Group, the Second Target Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements. Hence, the Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Information has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements of the Second Target Group. The Underlying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention and is presented in Hong Kong dollars (‘‘HK$’’), and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Second Target Company. Control is achieved when the Second Target Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Second Target Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

– II-25 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

When the Second Target Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Second Target Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Target Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the Second Target Company, using consistent accounting policies. The result of subsidiary are consolidated from the date on which the Second Target Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the sole equity owner of the parent of the Second Target Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between member of the Second Target Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The Second Target Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described in the accounting policy for subsidiary above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Second Target Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Second Target Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Second Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE HKFRSs

The Second Target Group has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in the Financial Information.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments2
Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018

  • 3 Effective for an entity that first adopts HKFRSs for its annual financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and therefore is not applicable to the Second Target Group

Except as described below, the directors of the Second Target Company do not participate that the application of the new and revised HKFRSs will have material impact on the Financial Information.

HKFRS 9 Financial instruments

In September 2014, the HKICPA issued the final version of HKFRS 9, bringing together all phases of the financial instruments project to replace HKAS 39 and all previous versions of HKFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The Second Target Group expects to adopt HKFRS 9 from 1 January 2018. The Second Target Group expects that the adoption of HKFRS 9 will have an impact on the classification and measurement of the Second Target Group’s financial assets. Further information about the impact will be available nearer the implementation date of the standard.

Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28 (2011) Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

Amendments to HKFRS 10 clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value. The amendments to HKFRS 10 also clarify that only a subsidiary that is not an investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. Consequential amendments were made to HKFRS 12 to require an investment entity that prepares financial statements in which all of its subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with HKFRS 9 to present the disclosures in respect of investment entities in accordance with HKFRS 12. HKAS 28 (2011) was also amended to allow an investor that is not itself an investment entity, and has an interest in an investment entity associate or joint venture, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to the interests in its subsidiaries. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Second Target Group as the Second Target Company is not an investment entity as defined in HKFRS 10.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

– II-27 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Second Target Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Investment properties

Investment properties are interests in land and buildings held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.

Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year of the retirement or disposal.

For a transfer from investment properties to owner-occupied properties or inventories, the deemed cost of a property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If a property occupied by the Second Target Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Second Target Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under ‘‘Property, plant and equipment and depreciation’’ up to the date of change in use, and any difference at that date between the carrying amount and the fair value of the property is accounted for as a revaluation in accordance with the policy stated under ‘‘Property, plant and equipment and depreciation’’ above. For a transfer from inventories to investment properties, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Second Target Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables which are classified and accounted for as loans and receivables. Financial assets are recognised on the trade date.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment allowances. Any changes in their value are recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment loss on loans and receivables is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Second Target Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.

Financial liabilities

The Second Target Group’s financial liabilities include an amount due to Mr. Mak and interestbearing bank borrowings. Financial liabilities are recognised when the Second Target Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

– II-29 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less when acquired, less bank overdrafts.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business.

Interest income from authorised institutions is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the effective interest rates applicable.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Second Target Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period are used to determine the deferred tax.

Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full while deferred tax assets are recognises to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

APPENDIX II

Foreign currencies

The Financial Information is presented in HK$, which is the Second Target Company and its subsidiary’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Second Target Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Second Target Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the cash flows of the Second Target Group are translated into HK$ at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of the Second Target Group which arise throughout the year are translated into HK$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Second Target Group’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Second Target Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The Second Target Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Second Target Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by the Second Target Group.

– II-31 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUPS

APPENDIX II

The property comprises a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Second Target Group accounts for the portions separately. If these portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

Estimation uncertainty

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

Estimation of fair value of investment properties

In the absence of current prices in an active market for similar properties, the Second Target Group considers information from a variety of sources, including:

  • (a) current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, condition or location, adjusted to reflect those differences; and

  • (b) recent prices of similar properties on less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices.

The carrying amount of investment properties at 31 December 2015 was HK$71,644,021 (2014: HK$71,644,021).

Further details, including the key assumptions used for fair value measurement, are given in note 17 to the financial statements.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BY CATEGORY

All financial assets and liabilities of the Second Target Group as at the end of the Relevant Period are loans and receivables, and financial liabilities at amortised cost, respectively.

17. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Second Target Group’s financial instruments reasonably approximate to their fair values.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, an amount due to Mr. Mak and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Second Target Group’s principal financial instruments include cash and bank balances and balances with Mr. Mak.

The main risk arising from the Second Target Group’s financial instruments is liquidity risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing this risk and is summarised below.

Liquidity risk

The Second Target Group’s policy is to monitor regularly the current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash in short and long term. The Second Target Group’s funding requirements are generally met by the advances from Mr. Mak which have undertaken not to demand repayment of the amount due by the Second Target Group until such time when the Second Target Group is in a position to repay such amount without impairing its liquidity position. Thus, the Second Target Group, liquidity risk is minimised.

APPENDIX II

Capital management

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

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX III

This unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’) has been prepared for the purpose of providing shareholders of the Company with information about the impact of the Transactions by illustrating how the Transactions might have affected the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2015, had the completion of the Transactions taken place on 30 June 2015.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared based on a number of assumptions, estimates and uncertainties.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX III

Notes:

  1. Basis of preparation

This Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules and based upon: (i) the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of 30 June 2015, which has been extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 dated 28 August 2015; and (ii) the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the First Target Group and the Second Target Group as of 31 December 2015, which has been extracted from the accountants’ report on the First Target Group and the Second Target Group included in Appendix II to this circular; and adjusted in accordance with the pro forma adjustments described in note 2 below, as if the Transactions had been completed on 30 June 2015.

This Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in a manner consistent with both the format and accounting policies adopted by the Company in its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

2. Notes to the pro forma adjustments

  • (a) Under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, the Transactions was accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities as the First Target Group and the Second Target Group had not carried out any significant business activities except for holding two properties (the ‘‘Properties’’).

In accordance with the Agreement, the total consideration for the Transactions of approximately HK$275,861,721 is to be satisfied as to:

  1. HK$250,200,000 by issue of the Convertible Bonds for the purchase of the Total Sale Shares; and

  2. settlement of the consideration for the assignment of Total Shareholder’s Loans as at Completion Date (which amounted to HK$25,661,721 as at 31 December 2015) by way of cash for the purchase and assignment of the Total Shareholder’s Loans.

For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors have assumed that the Convertible Bonds were issued on 30 June 2015 and the consolidated statement of financial position of the First Target Group and Second Target Group as at 31 December 2015 approximated to those as at 30 June 2015, the completion date for the purpose of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The Directors have engaged Grant Sherman, an independent professional valuer, to measure the fair value of the Properties and the full valuation report is set out in Appendix IV.

– III-3 –

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX III

The market value of the Properties as at 31 December 2015 as appraised by Grant Sherman is HK$434,400,000. Assuming that the market value of the Properties as at 30 June 2015 was also HK$434,400,000, the fair value adjustment of the Properties is computed as follows:

Market value of the Properties
Net book value of the First Property
Net book value of the Second Property
Net book value of the Properties
Fair value adjustment (market value minus net book value)
HK$ 434,000,000
73,237,701
71,644,021
144,881,722
289,118,278

Since the fair values of the Properties as at the Completion Date may be materially different from their respective values used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the final amounts of the Properties and the fair value adjustment on the Properties to be recognised in connection with the Transactions may be materially different from the estimated amounts as shown above.

(b) The Directors have engaged GCA Professional Services Group (‘‘GCA’’) (an independent professional valuer) to determine the fair value of the liability component of the Convertible Bonds as at 30 June 2015 for the purpose of preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. The fair value of the liability component of the Convertible Bonds as appraised by GCA is approximately HK$232 million. GCA has valued the debt component of the Convertible Bonds using the Effective Interest Method which calculates the amortized cost of a financial instrument (or group of financial instruments) and allocates the interest income/expense over the relevant period. The following assumptions were made in this valuation:

Effective Interest method

Credit Rating of Convertible Bonds: estimated (determined) by considering the historical financial status, business operation, business risk, use of proceeds related to the Convertible Bonds and economic condition with reference to the Standard & Poor’s standard rating research (or with reference to the rating given by Standard & Poor’s).

Effective interest rate: determined by USD US Industrials B+, B, B- BVAL Yield Curve, USD risk free rate and HKD risk free rate with the use of the Build-Up method.

Effective Interest method:

Valuation Date 30 June 2015
Credit rating B
Effective interest rate 6.3404%

Dear Sirs,

RE: Houses No. 38 & 39 and Car Parking Nos. P5, P6, P14 & P16 in the garage, No. 56 Repulse Bay Road, Hong Kong (the ‘‘Properties’’)

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the property interests to be acquired by CCT Fortis Holdings Limited (‘‘the Company’’) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (‘‘Hong Kong’’), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of such property interests as at the 31 December 2015 (‘‘date of valuation’’) for inclusion in the circular issued by the Company.

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property interests where we would define market value as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’slength transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.

Market Value is understood as the value of a property estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

– IV-1 –

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

APPENDIX IV

In valuing the property interests, we have valued the properties by market approach (comparison approach) assuming sale in their existing state by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the relevant market

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property interests on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to increase the values of the property interests. In addition, no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. 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 assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted rights to use the properties for the whole of the unexpired term as granted and is entitled to transfer the Property with ‘the residual term without payment of any further premium to the government authorities or any third parties.

We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the properties have been granted without any onerous conditions or undue time delay which might affect their values. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the valuation certificates. Moreover, we have assumed that the utilization of the properties and improvements is within the boundaries of the properties described and that no encroachment or trespass exists, unless noted in the valuation certificates.

We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the properties. However, we have not caused title searches to be made for the property interests at the relevant government bureaus in Hong Kong and we have not inspected the original documents to verify the ownership, encumbrances or the existence of any subsequent amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us by the Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupancy, lettings, site and floor areas and in the identification of the Properties and other relevant matter. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company which is material to the valuation. We have also been advised by the Group that no material facts had been concealed or omitted in the information provided to us and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld. All documents have been used for reference only. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.

In valuing the property interests which are situated in Hong Kong and held under the government leases which will be expired before 30th June 2047, we have taken into account of the statement contained in the Annex III of the Joint Declaration of the Government of the

– IV-2 –

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

APPENDIX IV

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the question of Hong Kong and the New Territories Leases (Extension) Ordinance 1988 that such leases would have been extended without payment of premium until 30th June 2047 and that an annual rent of three percent of the rateable value of the properties would be charged from the date of extension.

We have inspected the exteriors and interiors of the properties. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report as to whether the Properties are or not free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests have been carried out on any of the services. Neither have we carried out site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development thereon. Our valuations are on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expense or delay will be incurred during the construction period. No structural survey has been carried out and it was not possible to inspect the wood work and other parts of the structures which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible. We are therefore, unable to report that the properties are free of rot, infestation or any structural defects. No tests have been carried out on any of the building services.

All dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are approximations only. No on-site measurement has been taken.

In valuing the property interests, we have fully complied with the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of and Practice Note 12 to the Rule Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

We enclose herewith the summary of valuation together with the valuation certificates.

Respectfully submitted, For and on behalf of
