LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Disposal

The assets to be disposed of by the Company to Shenzhen Aoyuheng under the Equity Transfer Agreement is the entire 4.82% equity interest in P.G. Logistics. Upon completion of the Disposal, the Company will not hold any equity interest in P.G. Logistics.

Consideration and payment terms

The total consideration for the Disposal is RMB192,800,000 (equivalent to the base price), being the final bidding price of equity interest in P.G. Logistics, shall be paid by Shenzhen Aoyuheng in the following manner:

  • (1) a security deposit of RMB10,000,000 has been paid by Shenzhen Aoyuheng to SUAEX and shall constitute part of the first installment;

  • (2) a first installment (which shall include the paid security deposit) of RMB57,840,000, being 30% of the final bidding price, shall be paid by Shenzhen Aoyuheng into the escrow account designated by the SUAEX within 5 business days after signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement; and

  • (3) the remaining balance of RMB134,960,000 together with the Deferred Interests (if any) in relation to any deferred payment shall be paid by Shenzhen Aoyuheng within 6 months after signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

Basis of consideration

The base price for the Disposal is RMB192,800,000 which is determined (i) by the SUAEX rules, and (ii) based on the results of the Valuation Report issued by an independent valuer, China Tong Cheng Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (中通誠資產評估有限公司), in respect of the shareholders’ interests of P.G. Logistics (by using asset-based approach) with 31 May 2021 as the reference date. As at 31 December 2021, the carrying amount of the net asset value of the Company’s 4.82% equity interest in P.G. Logistics was approximately RMB204,622,310. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the net asset value of the Company’s 4.82% equity interest in P.G. Logistics exceeded the consideration, which was approximately RMB11,822,310.

As disposal of the Sale Interests involves disposal of state asset by the Company which shall require registration of valuation of the appraised subject under disposal, the Company therefore has engaged the Valuer to conduct the valuation of the Sale Interests with 31 May 2021 as the reference date and the Valuation Report was finalized and issued by the Valuer on 20 October 2021. Following completion of the valuation foregoing mentioned, the Company was then able to submit registration of the valuation with the relevant governmental authority and completed the registration on 21 April 2022. After registration of such valuation, the Company initiated a listing-for-sale process to dispose of its 4.82% interest in P.G. Logistics on SUAEX on 30 May 2022. Having discussed with the management of P.G. Logistics regarding the situation of P.G. Logistics since 31 May 2021 (the reference date of the Valuation Report) up to the Latest Practicable Date including

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

reviewing certain financial information of P.G. Logistics up to 30 June 2022 provided by P.G. Logistics, the Board is of the view that there is no material change on the financial performance of P.G. Logistics after 31 May 2021 up to the Latest Practicable Date.

Established in 1994, the Valuer engaged by the Company is a qualified asset appraisal firm authorised by Ministry of Finance of the PRC, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Real Estate Valuers and Agents Association to perform equity and/or property valuation works in the PRC. Further, the partners, directors, officers and staff of the Valuer is/are not any officer or servant or proposed director of (i) the Company, (ii) its subsidiaries, (iii) its holding company, (iv) any subsidiary of its holding company or (v) any associated company; and the Valuer does not have any direct or indirect shareholding interest in the Company or any member of the Group, and the Valuer is not the subsidiary, holding company, or a subsidiary of the holding company of the Company and therefore the Valuer is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons. The Board has reviewed and enquired the Valuer’s qualifications and experience in relation to the performance of the valuation. Based on the information provided by the Valuer (i.e. company brochure, qualification certificates and previous experience) and after making reasonable enquires, the Board is of the view that the Valuer possesses the necessary competence and independence in preparing the Valuation Report.

The Board discussed the Valuation Report with the Valuer and understand that regarding the valuation methodology adopted in the Valuation Report, the Board note that the Valuer has considered all the commonly adopted valuation approaches in the market (namely, market approach, asset-based approach and income approach) for the purpose of determining the book value and the appraised value of the entire interest of the shareholders of P.G. Logistics and is of the view that the asset-based approach is the most appropriate valuation methodology in the case of P.G. Logistics.

The asset-based approach is the method by which the value of the appraised entity is determined by reasonably assessing the values of each asset and liability item, both on and off balance sheet, based on the balance sheet. Taking into account the circumstances of this valuation including no off balance sheet items have been identified, P.G. Logistics can provide and the Valuer can collect externally the information required for the valuation by the asset-based approach, so that thorough investigation and valuation can be conducted on the assets and liabilities of P.G. Logistics. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to this valuation.

In conducting the valuation of the entire shareholders’ interest of P.G. Logistics, the Valuer has made the following major assumptions:

Basic assumptions

  1. Transaction assumption. Under the transaction assumption, it is assumed that all assets to be appraised are in the process of transaction, and the appraisers will make estimation in a simulated market according to the transaction conditions (among others) of assets to be appraised.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Open market assumption. The open market assumption represents that assets may be traded freely in a highly competitive market and the price of which is determined based on the judgment of both independent buyer and seller over the value of assets under certain supply and demand conditions.

Specific assumptions

  1. There would be no material change in the relevant existing laws, regulations, policies as well as the macro-economic conditions of the country. The political, economic and social environment of the region in which each party to the transaction is located will not have any material change.

  2. It is assumed that the operators of P.G. Logistics are responsible and the management of P.G. Logistics is capable of performing their respective roles.

  3. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that P.G. Logistics fully complies with all relevant laws and regulations.

  4. It is assumed that the accounting policies to be adopted by P.G. Logistics in future will be basically consistent in material aspects with those adopted in the preparation of this Valuation Report.

  5. It is assumed that the business scope and method of operation of P.G. Logistics will be consistent with those in existence on the basis of the existing management model and level.

  6. It is assumed that there would be no material change in the interest rate, exchange rate, tax base and tax rate and policy-imposed levies.

  7. It is assumed that there would be no material adverse impact on P.G. Logistics imposed by other force majeure and unforeseeable circumstances.

The Board believe that these key assumptions are generally adopted in similar valuation activities and are necessary for the Valuer to arrive at a reasonable estimated valuation of the total equity interest of P.G. Logistics. The Board is therefore satisfied that the abovementioned methodology, key assumptions and parameters are fair and reasonable in relation to the Valuation Report.

For further details of the Valuation Report, please refer to “Appendix II – Summary of the Valuation Report” to this circular.

Other major terms

Within 2 months after the first installment is paid by Shenzhen Aoyuheng, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Shenzhen Aoyuheng with resolutions of the directors and shareholders of P.G. Logistics in approving the following:–

In this connection, the Company has obtained the written approval for the Equity Transfer Agreement from CDBIH, being the controlling Shareholder directly holding 1,920,000,000 shares of the Company (representing approximately 66.16% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). Accordingly, such written approval is accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Further Deposit

Both parties agree that Shenzhen Aoyuheng shall pay a further deposit of RMB10,000 to a bank account designated by the Company within 5 business days from the effective date of the Equity Transfer Agreement as a guarantee for the payment of the remaining balance by Shenzhen Aoyuheng.

Based on the audited financial statements of P.G. Logistics for the period ended 31 May 2021, which was prepared in accordance with the PRC GAAP, the audited net assets of P.G. Logistics as at 31 May 2021 were RMB806.42 million.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Based on the cost of the Sale Interests in the amount of approximately RMB167,686,350 and the consideration in relation to the Disposal, the Company might record an unaudited gain of RMB25,113,650 in respect of the Disposal upon completion. However, with reference to (i) the consideration for the Disposal, (ii) the audited carrying amount of the Sale Interests as at 31 December 2021, and (iii) all relevant expenses incidental to the Disposal, it is likely that the Company will record an unaudited loss of approximately RMB22,416,319. The total assets of the Group are expected to decrease by RMB11,822,310 and the Company expects there will be no impact on the total liabilities if the consideration is paid within year 2022.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Disposal, if materialized, in the following way: (i) approximately 8% to 10% of the proceeds will be used as general working capital, including but not limited to for the payments of staff costs, professional fee and general administrative and operating expenses (including utilities, insurance, government registration and filing fees etc.) and (ii) approximately 90% to 92% of the balance of the proceeds will be used for future investments of the Company.

The Company anticipates that all the proceeds will be fully utilised by the next three to five years depending on the global investment environment and the investment opportunities then available to the Company during such period.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The principal activities of the Group are to achieve medium-term to long-term capital appreciation of its assets primarily through its investments in money market securities and equity and debt related securities in listed and unlisted entities on a global basis.

The Board is of the view that the Disposal is in line with the Company’s medium-term to long-term capital appreciation of its assets. Taking into account the fact that the Company has been holding the Sale Interests for a long period of time, notwithstanding that the current market may experience certain volatility, cash realized from the Disposal will allow the Company to forthwith replenish its working capital. With the cash flow and liquidity

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

position improved as such, the Group will be able to invest and respond in a timely manner whenever any investment opportunities arise in the future and the Board believes that the Disposal will bring along a positive impact on the financial position of the Company. Taking into consideration of the aforesaid and the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Shenzhen Aoyuheng with reference to the financial performance and asset value of P.G. Logistics, the Board considers that: (1) the Disposal is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable, and (2) the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal is more than 25% but all of them are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

So far as the Company is aware, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal. CDBIH, being the controlling Shareholder directly holding 1,920,000,000 shares of the Company (representing approximately 66.16% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date), has given its written approval for the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal. Accordingly, such written approval is accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting pursuant to Rule14.44 of the Listing Rules.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

Reference is made to the profit warning announcement of the Company dated 10 August 2022 in which it is stated that the Group was expected to record a loss attributable to owners of the Company of not more than approximately HK$353 million for the six months ended 30 June 2022, as compared to the loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$128 million for the same period in 2021. Such expected loss is primarily attributable to a recognition of net valuation losses in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

As at the latest practicable date, having taken into account the profit warning as mentioned above, the Directors confirmed that there is no other material adverse change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2021, the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

In 2021, the Group suffered minor loss from the Group’s investment projects. Adversely affected by the trade disputes among major economies and financial deleveraging in China, the global economic growth trend in 2021 further slowed down, and the confidence of investors about the economic prospects continued to deteriorate, all imposed challenges for the economic development of China and other emerging markets in 2021. The COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020 (the “ COVID 19 ”) further aggravated the global economy. Under such economic environment, the Company will keep using its best effort to pursue the best returns to the shareholders of the Company.

In 2022, the Company believes that the investment in logistics industry will still possibly create the best returns to the Shareholders. Logistics is the key foundation of the global business flow, and also synergises with e-commerce transactions with increasing importance. The efficiency of logistics-related industries has a material influence on investment decisions of large and small companies, and thus affects the amount and location

APPENDIX II

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

  • VI. Valuation reference date and valuation basis: The valuation reference date was 31 May 2021. There are 5 kinds of basis for this evaluation report: (1) Basis of the Economic Activities – “Minutes of Review Meeting” of the Investment Committee of CDB Finance Co., Ltd. the fourth issue of 2022 (the total 530[th] issue); (2) Basis of laws and regulations – Including but not limited to the Asset Appraisal Law of the People’s Republic of China (《中華人民共和國資產評估法》)and other relevant laws, administrative measures and implementation regulations, etc.; (3) Basis of valuation standards – including but not limited to the Asset Valuation Standards (Cai Zi (2017) No. 43) and other relevant evaluation guidelines and opinions; (4) Relevant Basis of Ownership and; (5) Relevant Basis of Pricing.

VII. Valuation approach:

(i) Selection of valuation approach

In accordance with the “Standards of Practice for Asset Valuation – Enterprise Value”, when conducting enterprise value appraisal, an asset valuer shall analyse the applicability of the three basic approaches, namely the income approach, the market approach and the cost approach (asset-based approach), according to the relevant conditions such as purposes of valuation, subject of valuation, types of value and collection of information and choose a suitable valuation approach.

1. Market approach

Due to the limited access to trading information on the property rights trading market in the PRC and the significant differences in the product structure and composition of principal activities of similar enterprises, it is extremely difficult to select market comparables. As such, the market approach is not adopted in this valuation.

2. Asset-based approach

The asset-based approach is the method by which the value of the appraised entity (based on the balance sheet) is determined by reasonably assessing the value of each asset and liability item, both on and off-balance sheet. Taking into account the circumstances of this valuation, the appraised entity can provide, and the appraisers can collect externally the information required for the valuation by the asset-based approach, so that thorough investigation and valuation can be conducted on the assets and liabilities of the appraised entity. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to this valuation.

– 18 –

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

3. Income approach

As the appraised entity is an offshore shareholding platform company with no actual business and personnel expenses, it is difficult to accurately quantify the future annual operating income and risks of the enterprise, and therefore the basic conditions for the adoption of the income approach to valuation are not met.

(ii) Asset-based approach

The asset-based approach is the method by which the value of the appraised entity is determined by reasonably assessing the values of each asset and liability item, both on and off balance sheet, based on the balance sheet. Taking into account the circumstances of this valuation, the appraised entity can provide and the appraisers can collect externally the information required for the valuation by the asset-based approach, so that thorough investigation and valuation can be conducted on the assets and liabilities of the appraised entity. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to this valuation.

– 19 –

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Detailed valuation methods involved in this valuation are set out as follows:

1. Monetary funds

Based on the breakdown of items for valuation provided by the valuation target, for RMB monetary funds, the appraised value is determined as the verified book value by the appraisers based on the valuation procedures. For foreign monetary funds, the appraised value is determined as the verified foreign currencies multiplying the central parity of foreign currencies against RMB as at the Valuation Reference Date.

2. Trade receivables, prepayments, other receivables and other current assets

Based on the breakdown of items for valuation provided by the valuation target, verification is conducted on accounting information and selected large amounts with analysis on the amount, time and reasons of arrears and recovery situation of each item of receivable to determine the appraised value of each item of receivable.

3. Long-term equity investment

Overall valuation is conducted on the long-term equity investment held. The assets and liabilities of each investee were checked with the overall appraisal made first to determine the net assets appraised value of each investee on the Valuation Reference Date, and the appraised value is then calculated and determined according to the proportion of equity investment.

4. Investment properties – Buildings

  • (1) Selection of valuation approach

  • ① Selection of valuation approach for investment properties – Investment properties

In accordance with the “Guiding Opinions on Investment Properties Valuation”, in carrying out the valuation of investment properties, the market approach and the income approach should be adopted first. In accordance with the above guiding opinions and considering the specific circumstances of the valuation target, the income approach has been chosen for this valuation, details are as follows:

– 20 –

APPENDIX II

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

For investment properties, as the buildings are used as warehouses, they are mainly used for leasing to generate rental income. As of the Valuation Reference Date, given the majority of the investment properties have been completed and leased out, the income and risks in the future can be accurately quantified and are eligible for valuation using the income approach. As properties of the same type in the area where the valuation target is located are predominantly held for rental income, there are very few market transactions and no relevant transaction evidences are available, therefore the conditions for market approach to valuation are not met.

  • ② Selection of valuation approach for the land use rights of undeveloped land

The valuation approach adopted in this valuation is selected based on the development condition of the local real estate market, the specific characteristics of the valuation target and the specific valuation purpose. The common valuation methods for lands include market comparison approach, income capitalization approach, hypothesis development approach, cost approximation approach and benchmark land premium correction coefficient approach. Based on the on-site survey and analysis by the appraisers, the applicability of the above valuation approaches and the valuation target was confirmed, details are as follows:

  • A. The use of the market comparison approach requires transaction evidences of the same or similar nature as the valuation target. Since the land market in the region where the valuation target is located is active and there are many transactions of similar land, the conditions for adopting the market comparison approach for conducting the valuation can be satisfied.

  • B. The income capitalization approach is applicable to land valuation where the income and risks can be accurately quantified in future periods. Given that the development and construction of the valuation target have not been completed, the appraisers are unable to obtain examples of leases of the same or similar land within the same area as the valuation target and it is difficult to accurately quantify the future income and risks. Therefore, the conditions for adopting income capitalization approach for conducting the valuation are not satisfied.

– 21 –

APPENDIX II

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

  • C. The hypothesis development approach is applicable to the valuation of properties with potential for investment development or redevelopment. The value of the land is determined by deducting the development costs, development profit, development interest and related taxes from the value of the properties upon completion of the development. Since the properties of the valuation target upon the completion of development are used for industrial storage, no reasonable value can be applied. Therefore, the hypothesis development approach is not applicable to the valuation of this kind of land.

  • D. The use of the cost approximation approach requires relevant information on land acquisition cost standards, land development costs and fees in the region where the valuation target is located, etc. As relevant information on land acquisition costs (land acquisition compensation standards) and development costs standards in the region where the appraised land is located are not available, the cost approximation approach cannot be adopted for the valuation.

  • E. The benchmark land premium correction coefficient approach is to use the results from the local urban land grading and valuation to obtain the land value of the valuation target through on-site survey, investigation, collection of the regional factors and individual factors of the valuation target, and by determining the correction coefficient of each factor according to its pros and cons. The adoption of a benchmark land value appraisal requires access to the benchmark land price and the relevant correction system in the area. Since the benchmark land premium correction system in the region where the valuation target is located cannot be obtained, the conditions for adopting the benchmark land value assessments for conducting the valuation are not satisfied.

In summary of the above analysis, the market comparison approach is adopted for the valuation of the land use rights of undeveloped land.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

(2) Introduction to valuation approach

① Income approach

The income approach is an approach of predicting the future earnings of the valuation target and converting the future earnings into the value or price of the valuation target using a rate of return or capitalization, or an income multiplier. As the rental standard selected for the income approach calculation includes land rental, therefore, the appraised value of investment properties includes the value of housing and apportioned land use rights.

As the remaining useful life of the land use rights corresponding to the investment properties is less than the remaining useful life of the buildings, the participation value of the buildings should be considered after the expiry of the land and the income approach formula adopted in this case is as follows:

==> picture [268 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

of which:

P: the appraised value of the investment properties; A: annual net income from rental of investment properties; r: discount rate; n: yielding life of the investment properties; B residual value: residual value of the buildings after the expiry of the land.

② Market comparison approach

Market comparison approach: when determining the price of the land parcel to be appraised and following the principle of replacement, this approach compares and analyses the land parcel to be appraised with transaction evidences of similar land use rights in recent period and determines the price of the land parcel of the valuation target on the Valuation Reference Date based on the known transaction price with reference to the differences in the transaction conditions, date, regional factors, individual factors and equity factors.

5. Investment properties – Land use rights

(1) Selection of valuation approach for land use rights

The valuation approach adopted in this valuation is selected based on the development condition of the local real estate market, the specific characteristics of the valuation target and the specific valuation purpose, etc. Common valuation methods for lands include market comparison approach, income capitalization approach, hypothesis development approach, cost approximation approach and benchmark land premium correction coefficient approach. Based on the on-site survey and analysis by the appraisers, the applicability of the above valuation approaches to the valuation target is determined, details are as follows:

  • ① The use of the market comparison approach requires the transaction evidences of the same or similar nature as the valuation target.

6. Fixed assets – equipment

(1) Electronic equipment

According to the purpose of this valuation and the characteristics of the appraised assets, and assuming the asset will continue to be used according to its current usage, the replacement cost approach would be adopted in this valuation on the basis of on-site survey.

Basic formula: Appraised value = Full replacement price × Residual ratio

As at the Valuation Reference Date, the Company was a VAT general taxpayer and the tax-free price was adopted to calculate the purchase costs of equipment in determining the full replacement price.

– 26 –

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

① Determination of full replacement price

For the electronic equipment of which prevailing market price is available, the full replacement price is directly determined based on its analyzed and selected prevailing market price; for the electronic equipment of which prevailing market price is unavailable, the full replacement price is determined by selecting the market price of the substitutes with similar function and making corresponding adjustments.

If the electronic equipment has a long useful life, the appraised value shall be determined according to the second-hand market price.

② Determination of the residual ratio

For electronic equipment, the useful life method is mainly used to determine the residual ratio. The calculation formula is as follows:

Residual ratio under the useful life method =

(Economic useful life - Used life)/Economic useful life × 100%

If the residual ratio calculated under the observation method and the residual ratio calculated under the useful life method (or the theoretical residual ratio) differs significantly, the relatively reasonable one of the two may be selected based on experience and judgment after analyzing the related reasons. For equipment which can be used normally, its residual ratio in general is not less than 10%.

(2) Vehicles

For vehicles, as there are no new vehicles of the same model available on the market, adoption of the cost approach is not applicable to the valuation of vehicles. As there is an active second-hand market for the same model of vehicle, the market approach is adopted for the valuation of vehicles that are no longer available for sale.

Market approach refers to the valuation method that determines the value of an appraised vehicle by comparing the similarities and differences between the appraised vehicle and similar vehicles recently sold and make adjustment according to the market price of similar vehicles.

– 27 –

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

The basic concept of this approach is to select one or several vehicles that are the same or similar to the appraised vehicle as reference through market research. The analysis shall firstly be made to the model configuration, age, mileage, condition and transaction price of the reference vehicle, and compare it with the appraised vehicle to find out the difference between the two as well as the price difference, and then determine the adjustment coefficients according to the factors of the reference object and calculate the adjusted price. The final valuation is normally determined by the arithmetic average method after the adjusted price has been analysed and justified.

7. Construction-in-progress – Civil engineering project

After verifying the composition of various costs and confirming their accuracy and reasonableness, the appraised value of the construction in progress shall be determined by consolidating them into investment property according to the construction stage: the appraised value shall be determined according to the verified book value, whereby the verified book value (book cost) shall less actual interest, which is calculated on the basis of an objective and reasonable construction period.

8. Intangible assets – Other intangible assets

The appraisers recognize the composition of the original book value and the truthfulness and reasonableness of the incurred amortization amount through enquiring the related accounting records based on the original accounting value. For customized professional version of software whose market price is not available on the market, the replacement cost is adopted in the valuation to determine the appraised value of such software taking into account the corresponding depreciation rate.

Basic formula: Appraised value = Replacement cost × (1 – Depreciation rate)

9. Long-term prepaid expenses

The long term prepaid expenses are expenses for office renovation, roofing waterproof works and fire protection works as well as the finance handling charges. The appraisers shall examine the relevant contracts and the amortization process. After examination that the amortization of the enterprise is normal, the value of the expenses for office renovations, roofing waterproof works and fire protection works and other maintenance and alterations shall be included in the appraised value of investment properties, and therefore, the appraised value shall be RMB0.00 in the long-term deferred expenses: for finance handling charges, the appraisal value is determined based on the verified book value.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

10. Liabilities

Based on the appraisal breakdown provided by the appraised enterprise as the basis of valuation, the appraisers shall verify the actual amount of liabilities to be borne by the appraised entity as at the Valuation Reference Date in accordance with the appraisal procedures and the appraisal value is determined based on the verified book value.

(iii) Income Approach

The income approach for the valuation of an enterprise’s value refers to the valuation approach whereby the value of the company under valuation is determined by capitalizing or discounting the projected income of the company under valuation.

This valuation is based on the audited separate statement of the enterprise, and the method of discounted cash flow is used to calculate the enterprise value. Firstly, the corporate discounted cash flow model is used to calculate the discounted value of overall earnings of the company, plus the value of non-operating assets and minus non-operating liabilities to obtain the equity value of the appraised entity. The specific formula is:

==> picture [167 x 61] intentionally omitted <==

of which P : the total appraised value of equity interest in the valuation target P’ : the discounted value of entire revenue of the company (on single account basis) D : non-operational liabilities A’ : non-operational assets Ri : the expected income generated in income period No. i in the future (FCFF) i : the income period, i = 0.29, 1.08, 2.08......n r : the discount rate

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

2. Appreciation/depreciation of the asset-based method and its reasons

The appraised value of long-term equity investment is RMB 2,450,682,122.10, an increase of RMB 2,450,480,868.82 compared with the book value of RMB 201,253.28. The main reasons for the change of the appraised value compared with the book value are: the book value is the original investment cost of the investment of the appraised unit, and the appraised value is the market value of the investee company as reflected in the normal course of business as at the Valuation Reference Date. Due to appreciation of certain assets and accumulated profits during the operation period, the appraised value of long-term equity investment is higher than the original investment cost.

3. Valuation Conclusion

The valuation concluded that, as at 31 May 2021, the Valuation Reference Date, the appraised value of the entire interest of the shareholders of P.G. Logistics in relation to the proposed transfer of the 4.82% equity interest in P.G. Logistics held by the Company was RMB 3,256,898,200.

(IX) Other matters that need to be explained

  1. The companies registered overseas in the scope of the valuation are all overseas shareholding platform companies with no actual business operations and no physical assets. As the valuation was conducted during the global outbreak of COVID-19, the appraisers did not travel abroad and substituted on-site field work through alternative procedures such as voucher sampling. The alternative procedures satisfy the relevant alternative requirements of the “Asset Appraisal Expert Guidance No. 10 – Reasonable Performance of Asset Appraisal Procedures during the COVID-19 Pandemic” 《資產評估專家指引第10號( -在新冠肺炎疫情期間合理履行資產評估程序》) and failure to perform the on-site procedures does not materially affect the valuation conclusions and does not affect the formation of the valuation report.

  2. The exchange rate adopted for this valuation is the central parity rate of RMB as at 31 May 2021 used by the interbank foreign exchange market as published by the China Foreign Exchange Trade System authorized by the People’s Bank of China: USD1 = RMB6.3682 and HKD1 = RMB0.82043.
