The aggregate of the Total Consideration and the Balance Payment of the Property (being the total investment proposed to be made by the Group in the Property) represents a discount of approximately 11% to the said valuation of the Property.

The Property

The Property comprises 182 office units located at 7th to 22nd Floors (without the 13th and 14th Floors) of the West Tower of Eton Place with an estimated total gross floor area of approximately 30,188 square metres. The Property represents all the office units of the West Tower and is situated in a prime location in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC. The land on which the Property is erected is held under land use rights for a term of 50 years commencing from 30 September 2003 and expiring on 29 September 2053 and is designated for commercial/office use.

  • (iii) the Vendor has undertaken to reimburse the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Property Group) commissions paid or payable by the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Property Group) to letting agents in respect of any lease or rental agreements in connection with any part(s) of the Property entered into at any time after the date of the Acquisition Agreement up to the date being one year after completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts; and

The Vendor’s Undertaking, other than the undertaking regarding procuring the performance of the Developer of its obligations under the Pre-Sale Contracts referred to in paragraph (i)(a) above, shall take effect subject to and upon Completion.

The Company will publish an announcement in the event that the actual annual rental income derived from the Property is less than the guaranteed annual income of RMB60 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58 million) under the Vendor’s Undertaking as referred to in paragraph (ii) above and will include such details in its published annual report of the relevant financial year. The independent non-executive Directors will provide an opinion in the published annual report of the Company of the relevant financial year as to whether the Vendor has fulfilled its obligations under the Vendor’s Undertaking.

Pursuant to the terms of the Vendor’s Undertaking (without limiting or prejudicing rights thereunder) and the Pre-Sale Contracts, if the Construction Completion and completion of the PreSale Contracts shall take place later than the Pre-Sale Contracts Completion Deadline, the Vendor or the Developer will pay a sum equivalent to 0.03% per day on the total investment of the Group in the Property (being the sum of approximately HK$728 million (equivalent to approximately RMB758 million)) from the day following the Pre-Sale Contracts Completion Deadline until the actual date of completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts.

The Guarantor has undertaken to procure the due performance of the Vendor of all of its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement.

The obligations of the Guarantor and the Vendor’s Undertaking shall terminate and cease to have any effect (without prejudice to any rights which have already accrued against the Vendor) if MOIL ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company after Completion.

In addition, the Purchaser will retain a sum of HK$30 million, HK$20 million and HK$10 million, respectively, from the balance payment of the Total Consideration payable to the Vendor, during the first, second and third year from the completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts as retention money in respect of all the obligations of the Vendor under the Acquisition Agreement (including the Vendor’s Undertaking).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pre-Sale Contracts

Pursuant to the internal restructuring of the Vendor Group, MOIL (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor) entered into the Pre-Sale Contracts with the Developer (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor) pursuant to which the Developer agreed to sell and MOIL agreed to purchase the Property at the acquisition cost of approximately RMB586 million (equivalent to approximately HK$562 million), subject to Adjustment. The acquisition cost payable by MOIL for the Property has been or will be paid in the following manner:

  • (a) initial payment of RMB80 million (equivalent to approximately HK$77 million), representing approximately 14% of the total acquisition cost of the Property, has been paid by MOIL to the Developer on 30 December 2005;

  • (b) second payment of approximately RMB106 million (equivalent to approximately HK$101 million), representing approximately 18% of the total acquisition cost of the Property, will be paid by MOIL to the Developer before 28 February 2006; and

  • (c) the Balance Payment of the Property, being RMB400 million (subject to Adjustment and equivalent to approximately HK$384 million), representing approximately 68% of the total acquisition cost of the Property, will be paid by MOIL to the Developer before 30 June 2006.

Upon Completion, both HGIL and MOIL will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. It is currently intended that the Balance Payment of the Property will be financed by bank borrowings to be obtained by the Enlarged Group.

Adjustment

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the Pre-Sale Contracts, adjustments will be made to the total investment of the Group in the Property of HK$728 million (equivalent to approximately RMB758 million) in the event that the estimated gross floor area (as stated in the PreSale Contract relating to that unit) of each office unit comprising the Property differs with its actual gross floor area (which will be determined on completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts) as follows:

  • (i) In the event that the actual gross floor area of an office unit comprising the Property exceeds the estimated gross floor area of such office unit, adjustment will be made to the purchase price for such office unit as a result of which the total investment of the Group in the Property will be increased by HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre up to a maximum of 3% of any excess in the actual gross floor area over the estimated gross floor area for such office unit and no further adjustment will be made in respect of such excess over 3%.

— 12 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) In the event that the actual gross floor area of an office unit comprising the Property is less than the estimated gross floor area of such office unit, adjustment will be made to the purchase price for such office unit as a result of which the total investment of the Group in the Property will be decreased as follows:

  • (a) in respect of any deficit in the actual gross floor area in comparison with the estimated gross floor area of such office unit of up to 3%, HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre; and

  • (b) in respect of any deficit in the actual gross floor area in comparison with the estimated gross floor area of such office unit of more than 3%, HK$48,232 (equivalent to approximately RMB50,220) per square metre.

Listing Rules implications

The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under the Listing Rules. The Controlling Shareholder and his associates (being family members of the Controlling Shareholder) are together indirectly beneficially interested in the entire issued share capital of each of the Vendor, the Developer, the Guarantor and the Property Management Company. The Acquisition therefore also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the Total Consideration exceeds HK$10,000,000 and the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25%, the Acquisition is subject to reporting and announcement requirements set out in Rules 14A.45 and 14A.47 of the Listing Rules and the approval of Independent Shareholders by way of poll in accordance with Rule 14A.48 of the Listing Rules.

Reasons for the Acquisition and benefits to the Company

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 4 October 2005, the Company is considering to acquire premium properties for the Group in the PRC as opportunities arise. Shanghai is the international and financial centre for the PRC and is well positioned to benefit from the continuing establishment and expansion of multinational companies in the PRC which is expected to lead to continual increase in demand for prime office premises in Shanghai. The Company considers that such demand will lead to a lack of supply of prime office premises in Shanghai as evidenced by rental payable in respect of for prime office premises located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. The Company expects that such trend will continue in the foreseeable future.

— 14 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Acquisition enables the Group to acquire all the office units within the West Tower allowing the Group to exercise a greater degree of control over the conditions and quality of the Property situated in a prime location within Pudong New Area, Shanghai, without over stretching the financial commitments of the Group. The Property will also be supported by a proposed five-star hotel located in the West Tower and other facilities within the commercial podium of Eton Place. It is currently intended by the Company that it will hold the Property as a long term investment for rental purposes.

The Company considers that the recent measures taken by the local government of Shanghai to dampen short term speculative property investment in Shanghai provides an opportunity for the Company to invest in the property market in Shanghai. The Property is constructed in a prime location within Pudong New Area in Shanghai commanding sea view over the Huangpu River. Further, the Company considers the Acquisition as an opportunity for the Group to strengthen its asset base taking into account of the expected rental income (supported by the Vendor’s Undertaking) and also the potential future growth in rental yield and capital gain on the Property.

Having considered the above factors, the Directors, excluding the independent non-executive Directors, whose opinion is included in the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out on page 21 of this circular, consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Financial effects of the Acquisition

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 4 October 2005 and the circular of the Company dated 31 October 2005 in relation to the Disposal. The Disposal has been approved by the Shareholders on 18 November 2005 and completion of the Disposal took place on 30 November 2005. Upon completion of the Disposal, the Group received approximately HK$625 million as net proceeds from the Disposal (after deducting expenses of the Group in connection with the Disposal) out of which the mortgage loans in the principal amount of approximately HK$152 million has been repaid resulting in an increase in the total cash balance of the Group by approximately HK$473 million as a result of the Disposal. The net asset value of the Group has also been increased by approximately HK$123 million on completion of the Disposal.

As mentioned in the announcement of the Company dated 4 October 2005, the Company has been considering to acquire premium properties for the Group in the PRC as opportunities arise. As mentioned in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for the Acquisition and benefits to the Company’’ above, the Company considers the Acquisition as an opportunity for the Group to strengthen its asset base taking into account the expected rental income (supported by the Vendor’s Undertaking) and also the potential future growth in rental yield and capital gain on the Property. Upon Completion, the Group would have paid HK$344 million (out of which a sum of HK$30 million would have been retained in respect of all the obligations of the Vendor under the Acquisition Agreement) as the Total Consideration which has been or will be financed by internal resources of the Group. After such payment, the total cash balance of the Group will be reduced by approximately HK$315 million after taking into account expenses of the Group in connection with the Acquisition. As a result of the Group’s acquisition of interests in the Property pursuant to the Acquisition, the net asset value of the Enlarged Group will be increased by approximately HK$70 million by reason of the Acquisition in comparison with the Group’s net asset value of approximately HK$954 million as of 30 June 2005 assuming that the Disposal has been completed on 30 June 2005.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the terms of the Vendor’s Undertaking and upon completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts, the Vendor has guaranteed that the gross annual rental income derived from the Property will not be less than RMB60 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58 million) per annum, representing a gross yield of approximately 8% per annum calculated by reference to the total investment of approximately HK$728 million (equivalent to approximately RMB758 million) proposed to be made by the Enlarged Group in respect of the Property, for three years commencing from completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts. The Vendor’s Undertaking also provides for reimbursement of (i) commission paid or payable by the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Property Group) to letting agents in respect of any lease or rental agreements in connection with any parts of the Property entered into at any time after the date of the Acquisition Agreement up to the date being one year after completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts; and (ii) Property Management Fees for one year after completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts, to the extent not recoverable from tenants of the Property, as more particularly described in the section headed ‘‘Completion’’ in this letter.

Financial and trading prospects of the Enlarged Group

The Company is an investment holding company. The Enlarged Group is principally engaged in property investment and development.

In an attempt to dampen property speculation in general, the PRC Central Government had recently taken a series of rather drastic administrative measures. However, some cities, such as Beijing, are not severely affected. The Company is cautiously optimistic that the pre-sales and sales of commercial apartments of Phase III of Chaoyang Garden, Beijing, the PRC (‘‘Phase III’’) during the financial year ending 30 June 2006 will generally meet the targets set by the Company. The construction of the residential portion of Phase III has been completed in September 2005 with the retail portion currently scheduled to be completed in 2006. The four-storey shopping mall of Phase III comprising the retail portion of Phase III, which is held as a long term investment, is being offered for leasing. It is currently expected that most shops will be taken up by this year when the grand opening of the mall will take place.

The port operations in Tung Kok Tau owned by Shenzhen Zhen Wah Harbour Enterprises Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, benefited from the continued growth in demand for logistics support in the PRC and the turnover of the port operations has increased by a steady growth rate of 12% for the year ended 30 June 2005. The land premium in respect of an area of 171,786 square meters within the Tung Kok Tau site for re-development purpose has been paid and the negotiations with the Chinese joint venture partner of Shenzhen Zhen Wah Harbour Enterprises Ltd. to settle the outstanding dispute are continuing. The Chinese joint venture partner has made repeated allegations with respect to the authenticity and the legality of the procedures involving the increase of the Enlarged Group’s shareholding in Shenzhen Zhen Wah Harbour Enterprises Ltd. in an attempt to strengthen its bargaining position. Based on advice from the Company’s PRC legal counsel, the allegations of the Chinese joint venture party are basically groundless. Both parties are still making attempts to settle the differences. However, the Company cannot rule out the need to resort to arbitration if a settlement cannot be reached by the end of the current financial year.

Upon Completion, HGIL and MOIL will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts entered into by MOIL is not expected to occur during the current financial year of the Enlarged Group but is currently expected to take place before 30 September 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the Pre-Sale Contracts, the Enlarged Group will

— 16 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

be required to make payment of the Balance Payment of the Property of RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$384 million), subject to Adjustment, before 30 June 2006 which is currently intended to be financed by bank borrowings to be obtained by the Enlarged Group.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 6 January 2006 in relation to the declaration of a Special Dividend of 15 HK cents per Share to those Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company at 4: 00 p.m. on the Record Date. The Special Dividend will be paid in cash on or about Friday, 31 March 2006. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 219,103,681 Shares in issue and the aggregate amount of Special Dividend to be distributed by the Company will amount to approximately HK$33 million assuming that no further Shares will be issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the Record Date.

The Directors approved the declaration of the Special Dividend after taking into consideration, among other factors, the cash reserves of the Company following completion of the Disposal and the requisite funding for the Acquisition.

Information relating to the Property Group

The Property Group comprises HGIL and MOIL. HGIL is an investment holding company incorporated in the BVI on 18 August 2005. Its sole asset is the 100% equity interest in MOIL. MOIL is an investment company incorporated in Hong Kong on 13 October 2005. Its sole asset is its interest in the Property under the Pre-Sale Contracts pursuant to which the Developer agreed to sell and MOIL agreed to purchase the Property. The Property Group has not entered into any agreement or contract other than the Pre-Sale Contracts by MOIL.

The Property Group has no business operation save as aforesaid and has not recorded any profit or loss on a consolidated basis since the date of incorporation of HGIL. As at 31 December 2005, the audited consolidated total assets of the Property Group amounted to approximately HK$77 million representing deposit paid for the acquisition of the Property pursuant to the Pre-Sale Contracts, the audited consolidated total liabilities of the Property Group, after taking into account of an imputed interest of approximately HK$4 million, amounted to approximately HK$73 million representing the loan advanced by the Vendor to HGIL, and the audited consolidated net asset value of the Property Group, after taking into account of an imputed interest of approximately HK$4 million credited as capital reserve, amounted to approximately HK$4 million.

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Property management services in relation to Eton Place

Pursuant to the Deed of Mutual Covenant in respect of Eton Place which comprises, amongst others, the Property, the Property Management Company (being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor) will act as the property manager to manage Eton Place (including the Property). After completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts, Property Management Fees will be payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company as property manager on the same terms binding on other owners of other parts of Eton Place calculated in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Mutual Covenant. The term of the engagement of the Property Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place as set out in the relevant property management contract will be for a term of two years provisionally commencing from 1 June 2006 to 31 May 2008, the dates for the term of two years being subject to notification by the Developer in writing. However, the term of two years in respect of such engagement will commence on or about the date of completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts which is currently expected to be on or about 30 September 2006. The Deed of Mutual Covenant

— 17 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(and thus the engagement of the Property Management Company as property manager) applies to all parts of Eton Place and is not an exclusive arrangement. The principal business activity of the Property Management Company is the provision of property management services and currently the Property Management Company has not carried on any business other than in connection with the provision of such services to Eton Place.

However, in the event that the whole or any part of the Property is leased out to tenants, such tenants are expected to be responsible to pay for the Property Management Fees for the relevant part of the Property being leased out to such tenants. As set out in the section headed ‘‘Completion’’ in this letter, pursuant to the terms of the Vendor’s Undertaking, the Vendor will reimburse the Property Management Fees payable by the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Property Group) in relation to the Property or any parts thereof to the extent not recoverable from tenant(s) of the Property (to be determined on a daily basis) for a term of one year commencing from the date of completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts.

Listing Rules implications

Upon Completion, MOIL will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Controlling Shareholder and his associates (being family members of the Controlling Shareholder) are together indirectly beneficially interested in the entire issued share capital of the Property Management Company. As the Cap exceeds HK$10 million and the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions exceed 2.5% for each of the two financial years ending 30 June 2008, the transactions contemplated under the Deed of Mutual Covenant constitute non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap will be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements and the approval of Independent Shareholders by way of poll in accordance with Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules.

The Company will seek the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM of the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap for the three financial years ending 30 June 2009. The Company will further comply with the annual review and disclosure requirements in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions under Rules 14A.37 to 14A.41 of the Listing Rules. In the event that the terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions continue for a term which exceeds the aforesaid provisional term, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules where applicable, including the reporting and announcement requirements and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules.

Basis of determination of the Cap

Pursuant to the Deed of Mutual Covenant, it is currently expected that Property Management Fees of approximately RMB28 (equivalent to approximately HK$27) per square metre per month will be payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company and the total maximum amount of Property Management Fees payable on an annual basis will be approximately RMB10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$10 million) (before taking into account of the Property Management Fees payable by the tenants in the event that the Property or any part thereof is leased out). However, the Property Management Fees payable on an annual basis for each of the two financial years ending 30 June 2008 may exceed RMB10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$10 million) if the Property Management Fees on a per square metre basis as applicable to the whole of the Eton Place are increased and/or the actual gross floor area exceeds the estimated gross floor area of the Property. In addition, the provisional term of the engagement of the Property

— 18 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place is currently expected to commence on or about 30 September 2006 and ending on or about 29 September 2008. Hence, such provisional term is currently expected to extend beyond the Company’s financial year ending 30 June 2008 for a period of three months and, as such, Property Management Fees payable during the period from 1 July 2008 to 29 September 2008 is currently expected to be approximately RMB2.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.5 million).

The Cap for the Continuing Connected Transactions for each of the three financial years ending 30 June 2009 is determined based on the current estimated amount of the Property Management Fees of approximately RMB28 (equivalent to approximately HK$27) per square metre per month as mentioned above. It should be noted that the Property Management Fees are calculated on the same basis as property management fees payable by owners of other parts of Eton Place.

Reasons and benefits of the Continuing Connected Transactions

The Deed of Mutual Covenant is on normal commercial terms which are applicable to all owners of Eton Place. The Directors, excluding the independent non-executive Directors, whose opinion is included in the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out on page 21 of this circular, consider that the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

SGM

The SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the ordinary resolution to approve the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap by way of poll as required under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Controlling Shareholder is, directly or indirectly, interested in approximately 42.59% of the issued share capital of the Company and controls the voting right in respect of such shareholding in the Company. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Controlling Shareholder, Mr. TAN Eng Chan and Madam ONG Lay Ming and their respective associates will be required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM (or any adjourned meeting thereof) to approve the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap. Each of the Controlling Shareholder, Mr. TAN Eng Chan and Madam ONG Lay Ming has undertaken to procure his or her associates to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM (or any adjourned meeting thereof) to approve the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder (other than the Controlling Shareholder and Dynamic Development Corporation, being indirectly wholly owned by the Controlling Shareholder) has a material interest in the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions and is required to abstain from voting for the approval of the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap.

A notice convening the SGM to be held at Unicorn Room, Basement 2, The Charterhouse, 209– 219, Wanchai Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Monday, 13 March 2006 at 11: 00 a.m. is set out on pages 117 to 118 of this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend and vote at the SGM in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy enclosed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrars, Tengis Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or the adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following is the full text of a letter received from the Independent Financial Adviser, SinoPac Securities (Asia) Limited, setting out its opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular.

SinoPac Securities (Asia) Limited

23/F Two International Finance Centre No. 8 Finance Street Central Hong Kong

24 February 2006

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Dynamic Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise and to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, details of which are set out in the circular to the Shareholders dated 24 February 2006 (the ‘‘Circular’’), which this letter forms a part. Capitalised terms defined in the Circular shall have the same meanings when used in this letter unless the context requires otherwise.

Pursuant to the announcement of the Company dated 6 January 2006 (the ‘‘Announcement’’), the Board announced that the Company has proposed to invest in the Property in a total sum of HK$728 million (equivalent to approximately RMB758 million), subject to Adjustment, comprising (i) the Acquisition at the Total Consideration of HK$344 million (equivalent to approximately RMB358 million), subject to Adjustment, and (ii) after completion of the Acquisition, payment of the sum of RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$384 million), subject to Adjustment, being the Balance Payment of the Property payable under the Pre-Sale Contracts for the acquisition of the Property by MOIL (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of HGIL and which will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company after Completion). The total investment in the Property by the Group of HK$728 million, subject to Adjustment, represents an investment of HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre calculated by reference to the current estimated total gross floor area of the Property of approximately 30,188 square metres.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

On 5 January 2006, the Vendor, the Guarantor and the Purchaser (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agree to purchase, the Sale Share and the Sale Debt at the Total Consideration of HK$344 million (equivalent to approximately RMB358 million), subject to Adjustment. Upon Completion, both HGIL and MOIL will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Pursuant to the Deed of Mutual Covenant in respect of Eton Place which comprises, amongst others, the Property, the Property Management Company (being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor) will act as the property manager to manage Eton Place (including the Property). After completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts, Property Management Fees will be payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company as property manager on the same terms binding on other owners of other parts of Eton Place calculated in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Mutual Covenant. The term of the engagement of the Property Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place as set out in the relevant property management contract will be two years provisionally commencing from 1 June 2006 to 31 May 2008, the dates for the term of two years being subject to notification by the Developer in writing. However, the term of two years in respect of such engagement will commence on or about the date of completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts which is currently expected to be on or about 30 September 2006.

Since the Controlling Shareholder and his associates (being family members of the Controlling Shareholder) are together indirectly beneficially interested in the entire issued share capital of the Property Management Company, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the Cap exceeds HK$10 million and the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions exceed 2.5%, the transactions contemplated under the Deed of Mutual Covenant constitute non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap will be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements and the approval of Independent Shareholders by way of poll in accordance with Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Controlling Shareholder, Mr. TAN Eng Chan and Madam ONG Lay Ming and their respective associates will be required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM (or any adjourned meeting thereof) to approve the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap. Each of the Controlling Shareholder, Mr. TAN Eng Chan and Madam ONG Lay Ming has undertaken to procure his or her associates to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM (or any adjourned meeting thereof) to approve the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder (other than the Controlling Shareholder and Dynamic Development Corporation, being indirectly wholly owned by the Controlling Shareholder) has a material interest in the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions and is required to abstain from voting for the approval of the Acquisition and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating and giving our independent financial advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have taken into account the following principal factors:

(A) The Acquisition

Principal factors taken into account

  1. Background of the Acquisition

Pursuant to the Announcement, the Board announced that the Company has proposed to invest in the Property in the total sum of HK$728 million (equivalent to approximately RMB758 million), subject to Adjustment, comprising (i) the Acquisition at the Total Consideration of HK$344 million (equivalent to approximately RMB358 million), subject to Adjustment, and (ii) after completion of the Acquisition, payment of the sum of RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$384 million), subject to Adjustment, being the Balance Payment of the Property payable under the Pre-Sale Contracts for the acquisition of the Property by MOIL (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of HGIL and which will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company after Completion). The total investment in the Property by the Group of HK$728 million, subject to Adjustment, represents an investment of HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre calculated by reference to the current estimated total gross floor area of the Property of approximately 30,188 square metres.

On 5 January 2006, the Vendor, the Guarantor and the Purchaser (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which (a) the Vendor agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, the Sale Share and the Sale Debt at the Total Consideration of HK$344 million (approximately RMB358 million), subject to Adjustment; (b) the Vendor has provided the Vendor’s Undertaking in favour of the Purchaser; and (c) the Guarantor has guaranteed in favour of the Purchaser in respect of the due performance by the Vendor of its obligations and liabilities under the Acquisition Agreement which includes the Vendor’s Undertaking. The Company intends to hold the Property as a long-term investment for rental purpose.

HGIL is an investment holding company whose sole asset is the 100% equity interest in MOIL, which is an investment company whose sole investment is its interests in the Property under the Pre-Sale Contracts. Upon Completion, both HGIL and MOIL will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Completion is conditional on the following conditions being satisfied or (in the case of condition (b) below) waived by the Purchaser:

  • (a) the Independent Shareholders having approved the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated under or in connection with the Acquisition Agreement at the SGM as required by and in accordance with the Listing Rules; and

— 25 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (b) the warranties given by the Vendor under the Acquisition Agreement remaining true, accurate and not misleading as of the date of completion of the Acquisition Agreement by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting as at such date.

Completion will take place within 15 days after the conditions have been fulfilled or waived.

If the conditions set out above are not fulfilled or (in the case of condition (b) above) waived on or before 15 March 2006 (or such other date as may be agreed between the Purchaser and the Vendor) or Completion does not take place as a result of the Vendor and/or the Guarantor failing to fulfill its/their obligations under the Acquisition Agreement, the Purchaser may by notice to the Vendor terminate the Acquisition Agreement without prejudice to any rights that the Purchaser may have against the Vendor and the Vendor shall immediately refund the Deposit without interest to the Purchaser.

  1. Reasons and benefits of the Acquisition

Since the Group is principally engaged in property investment and development, we therefore consider that the Acquisition is in line with the principal business of the Group. In light of the Group’s business focus on property investment and development and the Group’s strategy is to acquire premium properties in the PRC, we consider that the Acquisition is entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and also in line with its well established strategy.

As advised by the Directors and concurred by Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited, the Property, located at No. 69, Dongfang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC, is classified to be grade A office in Shanghai, the PRC.

Referring to the research report of Greater China Office and Residential Market Overview issued by Colliers International Property Consultants, Inc. in July 2005, under the stipulations of the World Trade Organisation (the ‘‘WTO’’), the PRC’s opening of its financial sector by 2006 will lead to a stronger demand for grade A office premises as foreign financial institutions increase their presence. In such regard, we consider that, together with a booming economy and property market of the PRC, Shanghai will present international investors with a wide range of investment opportunity.

In the second quarter of 2005, the PRC government continued to implement measures aimed at curbing the level of real estate speculation in the property market in the PRC in order to curtail the overheating of real estate development. In such regard, the development and supply of office premium properties have been retarded. Although the development and supply of office premium properties have been retarded, the demand for office property in Shanghai, the PRC, generally continued to increase owing to the general economic growth of the PRC. Therefore, in view of the decrease in supply of office property and increase in demand in office property of Shanghai, the vacancy level decreased from approximately 10.3% in the first quarter of 2004 to approximately 5.1% in the third quarter of 2005. The slight increase in the vacancy level of approximately 0.4% from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2005 is due to the relatively high level of new supply in 2005 which cannot be totally taken up by the market in short-term.

Since the PRC has achieved sustainable development after entering the WTO and continues to serve as an important foreign investment destination, we consider that the market trend of the prime capital value of prime office in Shanghai will increase in the future following the economic growth of the PRC. The average prime capital value of the

grade A office in Shanghai, the PRC, as shown below, is expected to increase from approximately US$2,300 per square metre in 2000 to approximately US$4,192 per square metre in 2006, representing an increase of approximately 82%.

Notes:

1 Estimate

2 Forecast

After taking into consideration the potential growth of the property market of Shanghai, the PRC, in terms of increasing rent and prime capital value of Shanghai property, as mentioned above, we consider that the commercial reasons for the Acquisition are sound and reasonable and the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s business strategy. We further consider that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

On the other hand, since the Group’s existing investment and development properties are located in Beijing and Shenzhen, in the PRC, the Group’s investment in the Property, located in Shanghai, the PRC, will diversify the Group’s property investment portfolio and is in line with the Group’s business strategy for acquiring premium properties in the PRC. In view of the expected economic growth of the PRC and the growing trend of the rent and capital value of Shanghai property as aforementioned, we are of the opinion that the Acquisition can diversify the property investment risk of the Group and provide the Group with potential capital return.

  1. Vendor’s undertaking

Having reviewed the Vendor’s Undertaking as set out in the section headed ‘‘Completion’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ in the Circular, we consider that such undertakings from the Vendor are favourable to the Company in the Acquisition

— 28 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Agreement and would provide additional protection to the Company and safeguard the interests of the Company in respect of the Acquisition. Based on the above, we are of the view that such undertakings from the Vendor are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. Rental guarantee

The Vendor has guaranteed that the gross annual rental income derived from the Property will not be less than RMB60 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58 million) per annum, representing a gross yield of approximately 8% per annum calculated by reference to the total investment of HK$728 million (equivalent to approximately RMB758 million) proposed to be made by the Group in respect of the Property, for three years commencing from the completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts; and in the event that the amount of gross rental income derived from the Property for any such year falls below RMB60 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58 million) per annum, the Vendor will pay to the Purchaser an amount equivalent to such shortfall on a dollar for dollar basis.

The Directors advised that the rental guarantee of RMB60 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58) per annum, representing a gross yield of approximately 8% per annum of the total investment, is reached with reference to the current rental yields of the Shanghai properties market. We consider that the basis of the rental guarantee is fair and reasonable after comparing to the rental yields of approximately 7.5% in 2005 and 2006 estimated by Colliers International Property Consultants, Inc. as mentioned in its research report of Shanghai Grade A Office Market in October 2005.

After taking into consideration the Vendor’s guarantee on the rental income to be derived from the Property, we consider that such rental guarantee will protect the Group in ensuring minimum stable rental income from the Property for the three years commencing from the completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts, which in turn, will provide the Company with sufficient time for procuring tenants. We are of the view that rental guarantee provided by the Vendor is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  1. Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company will acquire the entire issued share capital of HGIL and the interest-free debt due from HGIL to the Vendor amounted to approximately HK$77 million as at the date of the Acquisition Agreement. Upon Completion, MOIL and HGIL will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Property

The Property comprises 182 office units located at 7th to 22nd Floors (without the 13th and 14th Floors) of the West Tower of Eton Place with an estimated total gross floor area of approximately 30,188 square metres. The Property represents all the office units of the West Tower and is situated in a prime location in the Pudong

— 29 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

New Area, Shanghai, the PRC. The land on which the Property is erected on is held under land use rights for a term of 50 years commencing from 30 September 2003 and expiring on 29 September 2053 and is designated for commercial/office use.

Eton Place is located at No. 69 Dongfang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC comprising a 24-storey office tower (East Tower), a 36-storey hotel/office tower (the West Tower) erected upon a 5-storey commercial podium plus a 2-level commercial/car park basement, with a total site area of approximately 14,149 square metres. The West Tower accommodates primarily the office units from the 7th Floor to the 22nd Floor (without the 13th and 14th Floors) (being the Property) and a proposed five-star hotel from the 25th Floor to the 40th Floor (without the 24th and 34th Floors). The West Tower commands seaview over the Huangpu River. Eton Place is currently under construction and is expected to be completed on or about 30 September 2006.

The Sale Debt

The Sale Debt amounted to approximately HK$77 million as at the date of the Acquisition Agreement and is estimated to amount to approximately HK$178 million as at Completion, representing the amount advanced to HGIL by the Vendor for the purpose of financing MOIL to make payment of the initial and second payments of approximately HK$77 million and HK$101 million, respectively, payable by MOIL under the Pre-Sale Contracts entered into between MOIL and the Developer (being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor) to acquire the Property.

6. Consideration

The consideration payable for the Sale Share and the Sale Debt is HK$344 million (equivalent to approximately RMB358 million), subject to Adjustment. Taking into account the Balance Payment of the Property of RMB400 million (approximately HK$384 million), subject to Adjustment, to be financed by bank borrowings to be obtained by the Group, payable by MOIL to the Developer, the total investment payable by the Company for the Property should be HK$728 million.

The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition of HK$728 million is arrived at after taking reference to the valuation on the Property on a completion basis of approximately RMB850 million (equivalent to approximately HK$816 million) based on an independent valuation conducted by Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited (‘‘Savills’’), a firm of independent professional property valuer. Please refer to the valuation report prepared by Savills dated 24 February 2006 as set out in Appendix IV to the Circular for details of the valuation. Having discussed with Savills, we understand that the valuation of the Property is made after taking reference to the market value of similar commercial buildings located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC and on completion basis. Based on our review of the valuation report as well as discussion with Savills, we consider that the approach conducted by Savills in the determination of the market value of the Property, which is a common valuation methodology for valuing properties, is appropriate and believe that such valuation will fairly reflect the current market value of the Property.

— 30 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having discussed with the Directors, we are of the view that the consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations after taking into consideration to the value of the Sale Share and the Sale Debt as well as the value of the Property. Given that the aggregate of the Total Consideration and the Balance Payment of the Property (being the total investment proposed to be made by the Group in the Property) represents a discount of approximately 11% to the valuation of the Property, we are of the view that the Total Consideration and the total investment in the Property payable by the Group is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned.

Furthermore, according to the research report prepared by Colliers International Property Consultants, Inc., the estimated capital value of the grade A office in Shanghai, the PRC, is in general approximately US$3,873 (equivalent to approximately HK$30,209) per square metre in 2005. Thus the consideration based on the HK$24,116 per square metre of the Property represents a discount of approximately 20% to that estimated by Colliers International Property Consultants, Inc.. In such regard, we consider that the total investment is favourable to the Company and is therefore in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

It should be noted that the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition of HK$728 million is based on the current estimated total gross floor area of the Property of approximately 30,188 square metres and HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre of the Property. The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition is subject to the Adjustment to reflect any difference between the actual total gross floor area (which will be determined on completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts) and the estimated total gross floor area of the Property as follows:

  • (i) In the event that the actual gross floor area of an office unit comprising the Property exceeds the estimated gross floor area of such office unit, adjustment will be made to the purchase price for such office unit as a result of which the total investment of the Group in the Property will be increased by HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre up to a maximum of 3% of any excess in the actual gross floor area over the estimated gross floor area for such office unit and no further adjustment will be made in respect of such excess over 3%.

  • (ii) In the event that the actual gross floor area of an office unit comprising the Property is less than the estimated gross floor area of such office unit, adjustment will be made to the purchase price for such office unit as a result of which the total investment of the Group in the Property will be decreased as follows:

  • (a) in respect of any deficit in the actual gross floor area in comparison with the estimated gross floor area of such office unit of up to 3%, HK$24,116 (equivalent to approximately RMB25,110) per square metre; and

  • (b) in respect of any deficit in the actual gross floor area in comparison with the estimated gross floor area of such office unit of more than 3%, HK$48,232 (equivalent to approximately RMB50,220) per square metre.

— 31 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In light of the above adjustment formula which calculates the potential downward and upward adjustment to the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition, we consider that the Adjustment is acceptable since the aggregate consideration will be directly proportional to the actual gross floor area under the Acquisition within the 3% upward and downward adjustment. We further consider that (i) in the event that the actual gross floor area exceeds the estimated gross floor area over 3%, the Adjustment would cap the maximum amount of the Company’s total investment in the Property of approximately HK$750 million; and (ii) in the event that the actual gross floor area is less than the estimated gross floor area for more than 3%, the calculation for such deficit of gross floor area for more than 3% will be based on HK$48,232 (equivalent to approximately RMB50,220) per square metre, as much as a double of the price of the investment per square metre represented by the Acquisition. Therefore, we are of the opinion that the Adjustment is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

7. Financing of the Consideration

The Company intends to finance the Total Consideration of HK$344 million by internal resources of the Group and the Balance Payment of the Property of HK$384 million by bank borrowings to be obtained by the Group.

Having reviewed the conditions of the relevant term sheets provided by the banks to the Group and discussed with the Directors regarding their bankers’ intention for financing the Acquisition, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Group is able to comply with the conditions of the relevant term sheets provided by the principal banks to the Group and will be able to obtain banking facilities for financing the Balance Payment on Completion.

There is a potential risk that the required banking facilities may not be obtained. Should the Company fail to obtain the banking facilities, the Directors will seek other sources of funding for financing the Acquisition. However the Directors believe that such risk is slight as the terms and conditions stipulated by the banks can be fulfilled without difficulty.

8. Conditions precedent

Completion is conditional on the following conditions being satisfied or (in the case of condition (b) below) waived by the Purchaser:

  • (a) the Independent Shareholders having approved the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated under or in connection with the Acquisition Agreement at the SGM as required by and in accordance with the Listing Rules; and

  • (b) the warranties given by the Vendor under the Acquisition Agreement remaining true, accurate and not misleading as of the date of completion of the Acquisition Agreement by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting as at such date.

Completion will take place within 15 days after the conditions have been fulfilled or waived.

— 32 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

If the conditions set out above are not fulfilled or (in the case of condition (b) above) waived on or before 15 March 2006 (or such other date as may be agreed between the Purchaser and the Vendor) or Completion does not take place as a result of the Vendor and/or the Guarantor failing to fulfill its/their obligations under the Acquisition Agreement, the Purchaser may by notice to the Vendor terminate the Acquisition Agreement without prejudice to any rights that the Purchaser may have against the Vendor and the Vendor shall immediately refund the Deposit without interest to the Purchaser.

  1. Financial impact of the Acquisition on the Company

We have assessed the financial impact of the Acquisition on the Company based on (i) the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2005 as set out in Appendix I to the Circular; (ii) the accountants’ report on the Property Group as set out in Appendix II to the Circular; and (iii) the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to the Circular.

Earnings

There will be rental income generated from the Property for the Group supported by the Vendor’s Undertaking whereby the Vendor has guaranteed that the gross rental income from the Property will not be less than RMB60 million (approximately HK$58 million) per annum for the three years commencing from completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts. Therefore, the Acquisition is expected to bring the Enlarged Group rental income of at least RMB60 million (approximately HK$58 million) annually for the three years commencing from completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts.

The Balance Payment of the Property, being RMB400 million (approximately HK$384 million), subject to Adjustment, will be paid by MOIL to the Developer before 30 June 2006. Since upon Completion, MOIL will become an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, it is currently intended that the Balance Payment of the Property will be financed by bank borrowings to be obtained by the Group. The Group is seeking banking facilities from various banks. As a result of such bank borrowings, the Enlarged Group will incur additional interest expense.

Having considered the revenue contribution from the Property with support by the Vendor’s rental guarantee and assessed the interest expense with reference to the term sheets provided by the bankers to the Group, we are of the view that the Acquisition will provide the Group with additional earnings and is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Net asset value

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the net asset value of the Enlarged Group will be improved by approximately HK$70 million as a result of the Acquisition (assuming the completion of the Disposal took place on 30 June 2005). Given the positive effect of the Acquisition on the net asset value of the Group and taking the contribution from the Property into consideration, we are of the opinion that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

— 33 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Liquidity and working capital

Based on the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the current assets of the Enlarged Group would decrease by approximately HK$309 million as a result of the Acquisition (assuming the completion of the Disposal took place on 30 June 2005) while the current liabilities of approximately HK$249 million remain unchanged. Assuming that the Acquisition has taken place on 30 June 2005, the current ratio would decrease from approximately 4.27 times to 3.03 times as a result of the Acquisition. We also note that the Acquisition will not increase the borrowings of the Enlarged Group, but the payment of the Balance Payment of the Property will increase the borrowings of the Enlarged Group by HK$384 million upon payment by MOIL to the Developer before 30 June 2006 (after Completion). Having reviewed the term sheets provided by bankers to the Group, we understand from the Directors that the Balance Payment of the Property will be financed by bank borrowings with a tenor from five years to twelve years and will be accounted as non-current liabilities in the balance sheet of the Enlarged Group. Having reviewed total borrowing as well as current assets and current liabilities of the Enlarged Group presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to the Circular, we are of the opinion that there will be no material adverse effect on the liquidity of the Enlarged Group after the Acquisition.

The gearing ratio of the Group, represented by a percentage of total bank and other borrowings to total assets, would decrease by 1% (subject to audit) as a result of the Acquisition (assuming the completion of the Disposal took place on 30 June 2005). In view that the Acquisition would not increase the gearing ratio, we are of the opinion that the Acquisition would not have adverse effect on the liquidity of the Group immediately upon completion of the Acquisition. The payment of the Balance Payment of the Property would be financed by bank borrowings and would increase the borrowings by approximately HK$384 million, which would increase the gearing ratio to approximately 29%. In our view, such increase in gearing ratio would be acceptable after taking into consideration the rental income from the Property and the interest expenses of the bank borrowing for financing the Acquisition.

(B) The Continuing Connected Transactions

Principal factors and reasons considered

The principal factors and reasons that we have taken into consideration in assessing the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap and arriving at our opinion are set out below:

  1. Background and reasons for the Continuing Connected Transactions

Upon completion of the Acquisition Agreement and the Pre-Sale Contracts, MOIL is responsible for paying the Property Management Fees to the Property Management Company as property manager to manage Eton Place (including the Property) pursuant to the Deed of Mutual Covenant.

— 34 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Pursuant to the Deed of Mutual Covenant, the Property Management Fees of approximately RMB28 (equivalent to approximately HK$27) per square metre per month will be payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company. The total maximum amount of Property Management Fees payable on an annual basis is currently estimated to be approximately RMB10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$10 million) (before taking into account of the Property Management Fees payable by the tenants in the event that the Property or any part thereof is leased out). However, the total maximum amount of Property Management Fees payable on an annual basis may exceed RMB10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$10 million) if the Property Management Fees on a per square metre basis as applicable to the whole of Eton Place are increased pursuant to the relevant property management contract and/or the actual gross floor area exceeds the current estimated gross floor area of the Property.

2. Terms of the Deed of Mutual Covenant

Pursuant to the Deed of Mutual Covenant, the Property Management Company (being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor) will act as the property manager to manage Eton Place (including the Property). After completion of the PreSale Contracts, Property Management Fees will be payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company as property manager on the same terms binding on other owners of other parts of Eton Place calculated in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Mutual Covenant. The term of the engagement of the Property Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place as set out in the relevant property management contract will be two years, subject to notification by the Developer in writing, and will provisionally commence from 1 June 2006 to 31 May 2008. In addition, the provisional term of the engagement of the Property Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place is currently expected to commence on or about 30 September 2006 and end on or about 29 September 2008. The Deed of Mutual Covenant (and thus the engagement of the Property Management Company as property manager) applies to all parts of Eton Place and is not an exclusive arrangement. The principal activity of the Property Management Company is the provision of property management services and the Property Management Company currently does not carry on any business other than in connection with the provision of such services of Eton Place.

Having reviewed the Deed of Mutual Covenant and discussed with the Directors, we consider that the terms of the Deed of Mutual Covenant, which are applicable to all owners of Eton Place, are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Property Management Fees

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Property Management Fees of approximately RMB28 (equivalent to approximately HK$27) per square metre payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company, we compared them with the property management fees of similar commercial buildings in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC. We found that the Property Management Fees are similar to those property management fees of similar commercial buildings located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC. In addition, we note that the Property Management

— 35 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Fees are calculated on the same basis as property management fees payable by owners of other parts of Eton Place. The Directors advised that, to their best knowledge, the owners of the East Tower of Eton Place were independent and not connected with the Directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the Property Management Fees payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4. Arrangement of the payment of the Property Management Fees

In the event that the whole or any part of the Property is leased out to tenants, such tenants are expected to be responsible for paying the Property Management Fees for the relevant part of the Property being leased out to such tenants. Pursuant to the terms of the Vendor’s Undertaking, the Vendor will reimburse the Property Management Fees in respect of Property Management Fees payable by MOIL in relation to the Property or any parts thereof to the extent not recoverable from tenant(s) of the Property (to be determined on a daily basis) for a term of one year commencing from the date of completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts.

We are of the opinion that the aforementioned arrangement of the Vendor’s Undertaking is in the Company’s favour and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. Proposed Cap Amount

With respect to the provisional term of the engagement of the Property Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place with two years commencing on or about the date of the Completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts which is currently expected to be on or about 30 September 2006, pursuant to Rule 14A.35(2) of the Listing Rules, the Continuing Connected Transactions will be subject to the Cap for each of the three financial years of the Company ending 30 June 2009.

Based on the current estimated amount of the Property Management Fees of approximately RMB28 (equivalent to approximately HK$27) per square metre per month and the current estimated total gross floor area of the Property of approximately 30,188 square metres and the assumption that the completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts will take place after 30 June 2006, the total maximum amount of Property Management Fees payable on an annual basis for the two years ending 30 June 2008 is currently estimated to be approximately RMB10 million (approximately HK$10 million) (before taking into account of the Property Management Fees payable by the tenants in the event that the Property or any part thereof is leased out. However, the Property Management Fees payable on an annual basis for the two years ending 30 June 2008 may exceed RMB10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$10 million) if the Property Management Fees on a per square metre basis as applicable to the whole of Eton Place are increased and/or the actual gross area exceeds the estimated gross floor area of the Property.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

On the assumption that the completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts occurs on or about 30 September 2006, it is expected that the Continuing Connected Transactions relating to the aforesaid provisional term will expire on or about 29 September 2008. In such regard, the Property Management Fees payable by MOIL to the Property Management Company during the period from 1 July 2008 to 29 September 2008 is currently expected to be approximately RMB2.5 million (approximately HK$2.5 million). In the event that the terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions continue for a term which exceeds the aforesaid provisional term, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules where applicable, including the reporting and announcement requirements and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules.

Based on the above and after taking into consideration of (i) the potential increase of the Property Management Fees; (ii) the assumption provided by the Directors that the completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts is expected to be in a period between 1 July 2006 and 30 September 2006; and (iii) the possible extent of increase of the total gross floor area of the Property, the Company proposes to set the Cap amount of HK$12 million for each of the two years ending 30 June 2008 and the Cap amount of HK$3 million for the financial year ending 30 June 2009.

In order to assess the reasonableness of the Cap amount, we (i) have reviewed the assumptions for the computation of the Cap; (ii) have discussed with the Directors on the above bases; (iii) have taken into consideration the expected date of the engagement of the Property Management Company as the property manager of Eton Place; and (iv) have collected and reviewed other property management fees for similar commercial properties located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the PRC. In such regard, we are of the view that the bases for determining the Cap amount are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that the Acquisition, the Deed of Mutual Covenant and the Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote at the SGM in favour of the resolution relating to the Acquisition and Continuing Connected Transactions including the Cap.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

SinoPac Securities (Asia) Limited Frank Lam Executive Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General

The Company was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’).

The Company acts as an investment holding company. The activities of its principal subsidiaries are property investment and development.

2. Potential impact arising from the recently issued accounting standards

The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’) issued a number of new or revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKAS’’) and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘‘new HKFRSs’’) which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 except for HKFRS 3 Business Combination. The Group has not early adopted these new HKFRSs in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2005.

HKFRS 3 is applicable to business combinations for which the agreement date is on or after 1 January 2005. The Group has not entered into any business combination for which the agreement date is on or after 1 January 2005. Therefore, HKFRS 3 did not have any impact on the Group for the year ended 30 June 2005.

The Group has commenced considering the potential impact of these new HKFRSs but the directors of the Group anticipate that the adoption of these new HKFRSs would have no material impact on how its results of operations and financial position in the future are prepared and presented except as described below.

HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
HKAS 17 Leases
HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
HKAS 40 Investment Property
HKAS Interpretation 21 Income taxes — Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets

3. Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified for the revaluation of certain properties of the Group and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 30 June each year.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective dates of acquisition and up to the effective dates of disposal, as appropriate.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising on consolidation is capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in the balance sheet.

On the disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of unamortised goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

— 46 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary or an associate at the date of acquisition over the cost of acquisition.

Negative goodwill arising on acquisitions prior to 1 July 2004 continues to be held in reserves and will be credited to income at the time of disposal of the relevant subsidiary or associate.

Negative goodwill arising on acquisitions on or after 1 July 2004 is presented as deduction from assets and will be released to income based on an analysis of the circumstances from which the balance resulted.

Revenue recognition

When properties under development are sold, revenue is recognised either when the sale agreement is completed or when the development is completed which is determined by the issuance of the relevant occupation permit, whichever is the later. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to their completion are included in current liabilities.

Rental income, including rental invoiced in advance from properties under operating leases, is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease terms.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.

Port operating income is recognised when the services are rendered.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment has been established.

Investment properties

Investment properties are completed properties which are held for their investment potential, any rental income being negotiated at arm’s length.

Investment properties are stated at their open market values based on professional valuations at the balance sheet date. Any surplus or deficit arising on the revaluation of investment properties is credited or charged to the investment property revaluation reserve unless the balance of this reserve is insufficient to cover a deficit, in which case the excess of the deficit over the balance of the investment property revaluation reserve is charged to the income statement.

Where a deficit has previously been charged to the income statement and a revaluation surplus subsequently arise, this surplus is credited to the income statement to the extent of the deficit previously charged.

On disposal of an investment property, the balance on the investment property revaluation reserve attributable to that property is transferred to income statement.

No depreciation is provided on investment properties except where the unexpired term of the relevant lease is 20 years or less.

Properties held for/under development

Properties held for/under development are stated at cost less any identified impairment losses.

Properties held for sale

Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

— 47 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less any identified impairment loss.

Investments in securities

Investments in securities are recognised on a trade date basis and are initially measured at cost.

Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as investment securities and other investments.

Investment securities, which are securities held for an identified long-term strategic purpose, are measured at subsequent reporting dates at cost, as reduced by any impairment loss that is other than temporary.

Other investments are measured at fair values, with unrealised gains and losses included in net profit or loss for the period.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method at the following rates per annum:

Motor vehicles 15% to 20% Plant and machinery, equipment and others 10% to 33.3%

The gain or loss arising from disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and is recognised in the income statement.

Impairment

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes income statement items that are never taxable or deductible.

— 48 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Operating leases

Rentals payable on properties under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the terms of the leases.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Profits and losses arising on exchange are included in net profit or loss for the period.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s operations outside Hong Kong are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Group’s translation reserve. Such translation differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which the operation is disposed of.

Retirement benefits costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (‘‘Hong Kong’’) and the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) and the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are charged as an expense as they fall due.

4. Business and geographical segments

Business segments

For management purposes, the Group is currently organised into three operating divisions — property sales, property rental and port operations. These principal operating activities are the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information.

Principal activities are as follows:

The plaintiff is claiming for an amount of HK$14,879,000 (2004: HK$14,879,000). The subsidiary and its legal counsel are strongly resisting this claim and a counterclaim has been lodged against the plaintiff for, inter alia, damages in an amount of about HK$49,309,000 (2004: HK$49,309,000) (subject to the Court’s assessment). In the opinion of the directors, the outcome of this case would not have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group, accordingly, no provision for any potential liability has been made in the financial statements.

grant of the option; and iii) the nominal value of a share of the Company. The maximum number of shares in respect of which options shall be granted under the Share Option Scheme shall not exceed 10% in aggregate of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of its adoption. No director, employee or eligible participant may be granted options under the Share Option Scheme which will enable him or her if exercise in full to subscribe for exceeding 1% of the issued share capital of the Company in any 12-month period. The option period for which the options granted can be exercisable, shall be such period as notified by the board of directors of the Company, save that it shall not be more than 10 years from the date of grant subject to the terms of the Share Option Scheme. Nominal consideration of HK$1 is payable on acceptance of each grant.

No share option was granted to or exercised by any of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ directors, employees and such eligible participants under the Share Option Scheme since its adoption, and there were no share options outstanding as at 30 June 2005, 30 June 2004 and 1 July 2003.

36. Retirement benefit scheme

  • (a) Prior to 1 December 2000, the Group operated a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme (‘‘Defined Contribution Scheme’’) for its qualifying employees in Hong Kong. The assets of the scheme were held separately from those of the Group in funds under the control of an independent trustee. Where there are employees who leave the Defined Contribution Scheme prior to vesting fully in the contributions, the amount of the forfeited contributions would be used to reduce future contributions payable by the Group.

With effective from 1 December 2000, the Group has set up a mandatory provident fund scheme (‘‘MPF Scheme’’). Members of the Defined Contribution Scheme were given one-time option to choose to transfer to the MPF Scheme or remain in the existing scheme. While new eligible employees can choose between the Defined Contribution Scheme and MPF Scheme. The MPF Scheme is registered with the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Authority under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in funds under the control of an independent trustee. Under the rules of the MPF Scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the scheme at rate specified in the rules. No forfeited contributions are available to reduce the contribution payable in the future years by the employer.

The retirement benefit scheme contributions arising from the Defined Contribution Scheme and the MPF Scheme charged to the income statement represent contributions payable to the funds by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.

During the year, retirement benefits contributions charged to the income statement are HK$211,000 (2004: HK$206,000).

At 30 June 2005, there are forfeited contributions of HK$2,500 (2004: HK$3,000) which arose upon employees leaving the Defined Contribution Scheme and which are available to reduce the contributions payable by the Group under Defined Contribution Scheme in the future years.

  • (b) According to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the PRC subsidiaries are required to contribute 19% and 13% of the stipulated salary set by the Beijing and Shenzhen local governments, respectively, to the retirement benefits schemes to fund the retirement benefits of their employees.

During the year, the retirement benefits contributions charged to the income statement are HK$648,000 (2004: HK$568,000).

37. Pledge of assets

At 30 June 2005, the Group has pledged its investment properties with an aggregate carrying value of HK$500,000,000 (2004: HK$420,000,000) and an assignment of rental and sale proceeds from the investment properties to the bank to secure general banking facilities granted to the Group.

Notes:

  1. Beijing Longfast Property Development Co., Ltd. (‘‘Beijing Longfast’’) had a registered capital of US$30,000,000. The amount of US$29,500,000 disclosed above represents capital paid by the Group up to 30 June 2005. However, the Group’s entitlement to share the profit in Beijing Longfast was agreed to be at 95%.

  2. The Group is in dispute with the Chinese joint venture partner as to the percentages of equity interest held by two parties in Zhen Wah. The Group has been negotiating with the Chinese joint venture partner to resolve the dispute and to acquire all the equity interest held by the Chinese joint venture partner on real estates development in Tung Kok Tau. Based on the opinion of a PRC lawyer, the 80% equity interest owned by the Group in Zhen Wah is valid and legally enforceable. The Group resorts to settle the difference between the parties by means of negotiations and mutual agreement so as not to go for arbitration, which is considered as the last resort.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PROPERTY GROUP

APPENDIX II

The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporates the financial information of the Company and its subsidiary made up to the balance sheet date.

The results of subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All significant intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Investment in subsidiary

Investment in subsidiary is included in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less any identified impairment loss.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiary, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial information of each individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial information, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Company (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and their income and expenses are translated at the

— 74 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PROPERTY GROUP

APPENDIX II

average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Amount due from a subsidiary

Amount due from a subsidiary is a non-derivative financial asset with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, amount due from a subsidiary is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any identified impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Amount due to immediate holding company

Amount due to immediate holding company is subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Impairment

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PROPERTY GROUP

APPENDIX II

3. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

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

Recoverability of the deposit paid for acquisition of properties

The assessment of the recoverability of the deposit paid for acquisition of properties requires the use of management’s judgment and estimation. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the deposit and profit and loss for the period.

4. Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to minimal currency risk as the main asset and liability are denominated in Renminbi, the functional currency of both the Company and Move On.

5. Profit or Loss for the period

The Group had no profit or loss for the Relevant Period as the formation expenses and auditors’ remuneration were borne by the Company’s immediate holding company. The directors are of the opinion that other expenses borne by the immediate holding company for the Group for the Relevant Period were insignificant.

No remuneration was paid or payable to any directors and employees of the Group during the Relevant Period.

6. Deposit Paid for Acquisition of Properties

The Group

Pursuant to the 182 sets of Pre-Sale Contracts entered into between 22 December 2005 and 30 December 2005, Move On contracted to acquire certain property interests located in the Peoples’ Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) from Shanghai Supreme Trade Property Development Co., Ltd., a fellow subsidiary of the Company at a total consideration of RMB585,550,000 (equivalent to HK$562,379,946) (the ‘‘Acquisition’’). As at 30 December 2005, Move On paid RMB80,000,000 (equivalent to HK$76,834,422) as an initial deposit for the Acquisition. The second and the balance payment of RMB105,550,000 (equivalent to HK$101,373,415) and RMB400,000,000 (equivalent to HK$384,172,109), respectively, will be due and payable by Move On before 28 February 2006 and 30 June 2006 respectively. As stipulated in the contracts, the deposits paid are fully refundable if Move On exercises the termination right before 15 April 2006 (the ‘‘Termination Right’’).

The amount due from a subsidiary is unsecured and non-interest bearing. In the opinion of the directors, the amount is not repayable within the next twelve months from the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the amount is shown as non-current. The effective interest rate of the amount due from a subsidiary is 5%.

— 76 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PROPERTY GROUP

APPENDIX II

The fair value of the amount upon initial recognition was HK$73,175,640 and the corresponding imputed interest of HK$3,658,781 was debited as investment in the subsidiary. The amount has not been amortised during the Relevant Period as it was lent on 30 December 2005. The fair value of the amount as at balance sheet date, determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash inflows discounted using the prevailing market rate at the balance sheet date approximates its carrying amount.

8. Amount Due to Immediate Holding Company

The Group and the Company

The amount due to immediate holding company of RMB80,000,000 (equivalent to HK$76,834,422) is unsecured and non-interest bearing. The immediate holding company has agreed that it will not demand any repayment within the next twelve months from the balance sheet date and accordingly, the amount is shown as non-current. The effective interest rate of the amount due to immediate holding company is 5%. The fair value of the amount upon initial recognition was HK$73,175,633 and the corresponding capital reserve recognised amounted to HK$3,658,781. The amount has not been amortised during the Relevant Period as it was borrowed on 30 December 2005. The fair value of the amount as at balance sheet date, determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash outflows discounted using the prevailing market rate at the balance sheet date approximates its carrying amount.

The property interest is measured at its estimated fair value upon Completion by reference to (i) the valuation of the Property of approximately HK$816,366,000 as at 30 November 2005 as set out in Appendix IV, taking into account the state of the underlying asset, i.e. the Property upon completion; and (ii) after deducting the Balance Payment of the Property of approximately HK$384,172,000 that will be due for payment by MOIL to the Developer before 30 June 2006 which will be paid after Completion by the Enlarged Group.

  7. b. The reclassification of the deposit paid for the acquisition of property to property interest upon Completion.

  8. c. The net present value of the Vendor’s Undertaking in respect of the rental yield, reimbursement of the Property Management Fees and the letting commission payable to letting agents which amounts to HK$5,648,000 with reference to the estimated market rentals and occupancy rates, which is considered to be an identifiable asset recognised separately and recorded as a derivative financial instrument in the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet.

  9. d. The total consideration of HK$344,000,000 that would have been paid by the Group upon Completion after deducting a sum of HK$30,000,000 that would have been retained in respect of all the obligations of the Vendor under the Acquisition Agreement and the professional fees in connection with the Acquisition approximate HK$1,100,000.

  • h. The effect in relation to deferred tax liability in respect of the property interest.

  • i. The effect in relation to HGIL and its subsidiary on the adoption of the new or revised HKFRSs which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 as follows:

HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

Under HKAS 39, derivative financial instrument arising from the Vendor’s Undertaking in respect of rental yield, reimbursement of the Property Management Fees and the letting commission payable to letting agents will be classified as ‘‘financial assets at fair value through profit and loss’’ and will be carried at fair value, with change in fair values recognised in the income statement.

The amount due to a related company is classified as financial liability and is initially measured at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

HKAS 40 Investment Property

The property interest of the Acquisition will be held to earn rentals and stated at fair value based on professional valuation at balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the property will be recognised in the income statement.

APPENDIX III

3. Management discussion and analysis on the Enlarged Group

Business Review

For the year ended 30 June 2003

For the year ended 30 June 2003, the turnover of the Enlarged Group amounted to approximately HK$295 million representing a sharp increase of about 483% over that of the year ended 30 June 2002. It was principally resulted from the booking of sales revenue of approximately HK$236 million of the first two towers of Phase II of Chaoyang Garden (The Sun Crest) in Beijing (‘‘Phase II’’), following the issue of occupation permit in November 2002. The sales proceeds of Chaoyang Garden represented about 86% of the turnover of the Enlarged Group.

Chaoyang Garden

For the year ended 30 June 2003, the Enlarged Group realised a total sum of approximately HK$252 million, from property sales of Phase I and the first two towers of Phase II of Chaoyang Garden. The first two towers of Phase II was completed and delivered in November 2002. As at 30 June 2003, about 70% of these two towers had been sold out.

The last two towers of Phase II had been put up for pre-sale in October 2002. These two towers were completed on schedule and were delivered to buyers. As at 30 June 2003, about 50% of these two towers had already been taken up.

The development plans of Phase III of Chaoyang Garden (‘‘Phase III’’), a single residential/commercial complex (the final phase) was completed and officially approved, and foundation works thereof commenced in September 2003.

Tung Kok Tau

During the year ended 30 June 2003, the port operations in Tung Kok Tau continued to make steady contributions to the Enlarged Group’s operating profits.

Negotiations with the Chinese joint venture partner over the differences on the overall control of the Enlarged Group on the re-development of the site were continuing.

Cargo Centre

The Cargo Centre had been able to maintain a high level of occupancy of about 91% as at 30 June 2003. However, the rental income had dropped by about 7% as compared with that of the year ended 30 June 2002. Lease renewals had shown signs that the downward rental movement was bottoming out.

For the year ended 30 June 2004

For the year ended 30 June 2004, the turnover of the Enlarged Group amounted to approximately HK$410 million representing a rise of about 39% over that of the year ended 30 June 2003, which primarily resulted from the booking of sales proceeds (by about HK$289

— 89 —

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX III

million) of the last two towers of Phase II following the issue of occupation permit in October 2003. Sales revenue of Chaoyang Garden accounted for about 89% of the turnover of the Enlarged Group.

Chaoyang Garden

For the year ended 30 June 2004, home sales in Beijing regained its momentum as a result of post-SARS economic revival in the latter part of 2003. Total property sale for the year amounted to approximately HK$365 million. However, an over-supply situation in the high-end residential sector in Beijing continued to exert pressure on price and profit.

Construction work of Phase III, a multi-purpose residential/commercial complex, commenced in September 2003. Pre-sale of this phase had been planned to be commenced in the first quarter of 2005. The entire development had been scheduled to be completed by the end of 2005.

Tung Kok Tau

For the year ended 30 June 2004, the operating income and profit of the port operations in Tung Kok Tau increased by about 15% and 17% respectively.

In December 2003, the Enlarged Group paid the balance of land premium of about RMB156 million to secure an area of 171,786 square metres comprising the ‘‘red-line’’ zone of the Tung Kok Tau site having a total re-developable gross floor area of 310,400 square metres. This payment was made necessary by the PRC Central Government implementing strict policy of repossession of all unpaid lands and was funded ultimately by the controlling shareholder of the Company by way of the loan made to the Company as more particularly described in the section headed ‘‘Directors’ Interests in Contracts and Assets’’ of Appendix VI to this circular.

Negotiations with the Chinese joint venture partner on the proposed acquisition by the Enlarged Group of full control over the re-development project were on-going. However some further delays had become unavoidable due to, on one hand, new city planning proposals affecting the site, and on the other hand the recent corporate restructuring of the Chinese joint venture partner and its controlling organization.

Cargo Centre

In the year ended 30 June 2004, the Cargo Centre benefited from increases in demand for warehousing space in Hong Kong, due to the buoyancy of re-export and the implementation of CEPA. As a result, the Cargo Centre maintained a high level of occupancy of about 90% as at 30 June 2004. A slight improvement in rental for new and renewed tenancies had helped to improve operating profit marginally.

For the year ended 30 June 2005

For the year ended 30 June 2005, the turnover of the Enlarged Group amounted to approximately HK$127 million, compared to approximately HK$410 million for the year ended 30 June 2004. This decrease was attributable to the fall of revenue (by approximately HK$289

— 90 —

APPENDIX III

million) from property sales of Chaoyang Garden in Beijing, as most of residential units in its first and second phases have been sold and the results thereof have been accounted for in previous financial years.

Chaoyang Garden

For the year ended 30 June 2005, sales proceeds of residential units in Beijing were approximately HK$77 million, the majority of which represent proceeds from the remaining units of Phase II.

Construction of Phase III comprising a four-storey shopping mall and a twenty-six-storey tower of commercial apartments was on schedule. Despite that drastic measures were taken by the PRC Central Government to dampen property speculation recently, about 40% of the residential portion of Phase III had been pre-sold. The result of these transactions would be reflected upon the issuance of occupation permit.

Tung Kok Tau

For the year ended 30 June 2005, port operation showed a continued turnover growth of about 12% with operating profit therefrom recording a substantial increase of approximately 103% as against the operating profit of the year ended 30 June 2004.

Cargo Centre

For the year ended 30 June 2005, the Cargo Centre maintained virtual full occupancy; rental income and profit from operations before revaluation surplus rose about 12% and 13% respectively. The Cargo Centre was professionally re-appraised at HK$500 million as at 30 June 2005 and a revaluation surplus of HK$80 million was credited to operating profit. Subsequent to 30 June 2005, the Cargo Centre was disposed by the Enlarged Group and completion of the Disposal took place on 30 November 2005.

The Property

Construction of the Property is on schedule and is expected to be completed before 30 September 2006. The Enlarged Group will commence pre-leasing of the Property upon Completion and, upon completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts, there will be rental income generated from the Property for the Enlarged Group as supported by the rental guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Vendor’s Undertaking whereby the Vendor has guaranteed that the gross rental income deriving from the Property will not be less than RMB60 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58 million) per annum for a period of three years commencing from completion of the Pre-Sale Contracts. The Vendor’s Undertaking also provides for reimbursement of (i) commission paid or payable by the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Property Group) to letting agents in respect of any lease or rental agreements in connection with any parts of the Property; and (ii) Property Management Fees as more particularly described in the section headed ‘‘Completion’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ in this circular.

5. LITIGATION

Save as disclosed below, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no member of the Enlarged Group was engaged in any litigation or claims of material importance and no litigation or claim of material importance was known to the Directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Enlarged Group:

On 18 June 2004, Dynamic (B.V.I.) Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, was named as a defendant in a High Court action in respect of an alleged breach of contractual undertakings in relation to consultancy fees payable regarding the Tung Kok Tau project. The plaintiff claimed for an amount of approximately HK$14,879,000. Dynamic (B.V.I.) Limited and its legal counsel strongly resisted this claim and a counterclaim has been lodged against the plaintiff on 5 August 2005 for, inter alia, damages in an amount of approximately HK$49,309,000 (subject to the Court’s assessment).

The Directors are of the view that the outcome of this case would not have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Enlarged Group.

— 112 —

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX VI

Regarding the current dispute on Tung Kok Tau project, negotiations with the Chinese joint venture partner of Shenzhen Zhen Wah Harbour Enterprises Ltd. a subsidiary of the Company, to settle the outstanding dispute are continuing. The Chinese joint venture partner has made repeated allegations with respect to the authenticity and the legality of the procedures involving the increase of the Group’s shareholding in Shenzhen Zhen Wah Harbour Enterprises Ltd. in an attempt to strengthen its bargaining position. Based on advice from the Company’s PRC legal counsel, the allegations of the Chinese joint venture party are basically groundless. Both parties are still making attempts to settle the differences. However, the Company cannot rule out the need to resort to arbitration if a settlement cannot be reached by the end of the current financial year.

6. SERVICE CONTRACTS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors had any existing or proposed service contract with any member of the Enlarged Group (excluding contracts expiring or determinable by the Enlarged Group within one year without payment of compensation, other than statutory compensation).

7. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS IN COMPETING BUSINESS

As at the Latest Practical Date, the following Directors of the Company are considered to have interests in businesses which compete or are likely to compete, either directly or indirectly, with the businesses of the Group pursuant to the Listing Rules.

Mr. CHUA Domingo, Mr. PANG Kit Man, John, Mr. TANENGLIAN Mariano Chua and Mr. CHEUNG Chi Ming (the ‘‘Relevant Directors’’) hold directorships and/or interests (either as beneficiaries or nominees) respectively in certain private companies (the ‘‘Private Companies’’) which are engaged in property investment and property development in Hong Kong, Shanghai (being Eton Place), Xiamen, Dalian and Beijing in the PRC for various uses including office, commercial, hotel and residential uses (the ‘‘Excluded Business’’). The investment properties of the Private Companies are situated in Hong Kong and Xiamen while the development properties of the Private Companies are situated in Shanghai, Xiamen, Dalian and Beijing. The Relevant Directors confirmed that some of the properties in the Private Companies (in particular for those situated in Xiamen, Dalian and Beijing) are still under very preliminary construction stage. The Relevant Directors further confirmed that the unsold portion of the office units of East Tower of Eton Place are mainly held for sale purpose.

In view of the (i) different location (for properties situated in Hong Kong, Xiamen and Dalian), and (ii) different target segment (East Tower of Eton Place being held for sale purpose while the Property is principally held for rental purpose) of the properties owned by the Private Companies and those of the Group, the Directors do not consider the personal interest held by the Relevant Directors in the Private Companies as competing in practice with those of the Group.

In addition, the Excluded Business, in which the Relevant Directors are regarded to be interested, is managed by companies with independent management and administration. On this basis, the Directors believe that the Enlarged Group is capable of carrying on its business independently of, and at arm’s length from, the Excluded Business.

Save as disclosed above, neither the Directors nor their respective associates were considered to have interests in business which compete or are likely to compete, either directly or indirectly, with the businesses of the Enlarged Group pursuant to the Listing Rules.
