LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASON FOR THE DISPOSAL

The principal activities of the Group are property and share investments, property development and securities dealing.

The Directors are of the view that it is a good opportunity to dispose of the Properties which will attribute an attractive return and to realize capital gain. The Board believes that the Disposal of the Properties is in the best interest to the Group. The Board (including the independent non-executive directors) believes that the terms of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The audited carrying amount of the Properties as of 31 March 2017, which was revalued by the independent valuer, was HK$129,900,000 and classified as “Investment Properties”. The expected gain before and after taxation from the Disposal are approximately HK$185,150,000 and HK$185,000,000 respectively which will be recorded in the accounting year ending 31 March 2018. The expected gain before taxation from disposal is calculated by deducting the audited carrying amount as of 31 March 2017 and other incidental cost regarding the Disposal of approximately HK$4,950,000. The total assets of the Group will be increased by the estimated gain of HK$185,000,000 and no effect on liabilities. The net proceeds of approximately HK$315,050,000 will be retained as the Group’s working capital and for investment opportunities in property and business development in future. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group does not have any other potential investment.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

The Group will continue to engage in property and share investments, property development and securities dealing.

Upon the Disposal, the Group can realize a capital gain of HK$285,415,403 after deducting the acquisition cost of HK$34,584,597. However, the Disposal will inevitably reduce the annual rental income by approximately of HK$2,300,000 (or 10% to 15% of the Group’s rental income) beginning from the next financial year, and subsequently affect the future Group’s earning. With the strong cash position, the Group will continue to look for good investment opportunities to enhance the quality of the Group’s property portfolio. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group does not have any other potential investment. With recent high volatility of share price of listed shares in Hong Kong which is due to the uncertainty of worldwide market condition, the Group shall consistently adopt conservative policy in balancing its exposure to risk and returns for each investment decision.

After the completion of the Disposal, the management is confident that the Group has sufficient fund to meet its future operating and capital expenditure, and loan repayment obligations.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

The Disposal constitutes a Major Transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and require shareholders’ approval pursuant to Rule 14.40 of the Listing Rules. As no Shareholder has any material interest in the Disposal, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM on the resolution to approve the Disposal.

The Board of Directors

Winfair Investment Company Limited

5/F Lee Kiu Building 51 Jordan Road Kowloon

Dear Sir/Madam,

INSTRUCTION

We refer to your instruction for us to value the property interests (“ the Properties ”) to be disposed by Winfair Investment Company Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (together referred as the “ Group ”) located in Hong Kong. We confirm that we have carried out property 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 24 October 2017 (the “ Valuation Date ”).

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigations and limiting conditions of this valuation.

BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the Market Value which we would define as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s–length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably prudently and without compulsion.

  • 9 -

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, condition precedent such as binding agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

We have valued the property interests by using the Direct Comparison Approach, which is based on the principle of substitution, where comparison is made based on prices realized on actual sales and/or asking prices of comparable properties. Comparable properties of similar size, scale, nature, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value.

For the property which is subject to existing tenancies as at the Valuation Date, we have also adopted the investment method on the basis of capitalization of the net rental incomes with due allowance for reversionary income potential if necessary.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in the HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition and Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

VALUATION ASSUMPTION

In our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that:

  • i. all necessary statutory approvals for the Properties or the subject building of which the Properties form part of their use have been obtained;

  • ii. the owner of the Properties has enforceable titles to the Properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the Properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms as granted;

  • iii. no deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction of the Properties;

  • iv. the Properties are not subject to any unusual or especially onerous restrictions, encumbrances or outgoings and that good title can be shown;

  • 10 -

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

  • v. the Properties are connected to main services and sewers which are available on normal terms; and

  • vi. the cost or repairs and maintenance to the buildings of which the Properties located in are shared among all owners of the building, and that there are no onerous liabilities outstanding.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have carried out searches at the Land Registry for the Properties in Hong Kong. However, we have not verified ownership of the Properties or to verify the existence of any lease amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have inspected the Properties but no structural survey has been made. No inspection has been conducted to parts of the structures which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible. Therefore we are unable to report that the Properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. Further, no test has been carried out on any of the services. All dimensions, measurements and areas are only approximates.

None of the services have been tested by us and we are, therefore, unable to report on their present conditions. We have no duty to verify that no deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction of or making addition or alteration to the Properties. We have assumed that utility services, such as electricity, telephone, water, etc., are available and free from defect.

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the Properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and/or official plans are correct. All documents have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters, in particular, but not limited to statutory notices, easements, tenure, floor areas, particulars of occupancy and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Properties.

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

We do not accept a liability for any interpretation which we have placed on such information which is more properly the sphere of the legal advisers of instructing party. Neither have we verified the correctness of any information supplied to us concerning the Properties.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties interest valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale.

  • 11 -

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

Unless otherwise stated, we have not carried out the valuation on a redevelopment basis and the study of possible alternative development options do not come within the scope of our valuation.

REMARKS

We have inspected the exteriors of the Properties in November 2017 by our Ms. Flora Chan (BSc in Estate Management).

We enclose herewith valuation summary and valuation certificates.
