The Property is currently on lease for HK$61,100 per month (inclusive of government rent and management fees, exclusive of other outgoings), amount of deposit held under the tenancy agreements was HK$122,200 and currently used for commercial purpose.

Details of 2 tenancy agreements:

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the warranties provided by the respective Sellers under the Agreements remain true and accurate in all respects.

Source of Funding

The consideration of the Property was determined after arm’s length negotiations between Treasure Arts and the Sellers. When determining the consideration, the management of the Company has taken into account of the Group being the owner of 28 units (including a AP common part) of the FW Building, the location of the Property, market price of properties of similar sizes and usage, the potential of redevelopment and as well as the preliminary value of the Property as indicated by an independent valuer. The management of the Company believes that the above provides a reasonable basis in its assessment value of the Property.

The Group will fund the Acquisition from its internal resources and/or bank facilities; and the funds to be raised by placing of new shares of the Company on 30 November 2017. Details are disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 30 November 2017.

Consideration

The consideration of the Property was determined after arm’s length negotiations between Treasure Arts and the Sellers. When determining the consideration of the Property, the management of the Company has taken into account of the following factors including but without limitation to:

  1. 3 types of valuation as mentioned in the valuation report in Appendix IV to this circular:

  2. (a) the market value in the existing state of the Property is HK$31,620,000;

  3. (b) the existing use value of the existing site is HK$363,540,000;

  4. (c) the redevelopment value, that is site value with vacant possession of the FW Building’s site is HK$683,000,000 (“ VP Valuation ”); and

  5. (d) the apportioned site value with vacant possession of the Property with existing use value of the FW Building being HK$59,400,000 (“ APD Valuation ”). The APD Valuation refers to the calculation of the existing use valuation of the Properties to the entire FW Building against the VP Valuation (ie. HK$(31,620,000/363,540,000) x HK$683,000,000).

  6. the unit rate of the comparable transactions are in the range of about HK$33,603 psf to HK$50,120 psf for ground floor units;

  7. the favourable location of the Property which is at a high traffic location with subway, mass transit railway stations, commercial and industrial offices, shopping malls, retail outlets and different types of restaurant;

  8. the Group owns 28 units out of 32 units of the FW Building which represents 88.33% of the undivided shares of the FW Building;

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the future development potential to be a high rise composite commercial building;

  2. the prevailing market prices of the properties of similar nature available in the localities;

  3. the current Hong Kong property market sentiment; and

  4. the Company’s available funds.

The Directors have taken into account the above factors and noted that the unit price of the Property (i.e. HK$48,624) is within the range of the comparables of the ground floor workshop. The purchase price is in the trend of redevelopment value and therefore in the opinion of the Directors, the redevelopment value of the Property reflects the existing market conditions and the real market value of the Property. In addition, the Directors believes that the redevelopment value shall not be less than the VP Valuation because of its prime location and its potential for composite commercial redevelopment, therefore the Directors have a view that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Group and is on normal commercial terms, which is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Group will fund the Acquisition from internal resources which is earmarked for the acquisition of FW Building and/or bank facilities; and the funds to be raised by placing of new shares of the Company on 30 November 2017. Details are disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 30 November 2017.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS

The Group’s principal businesses are property investment, property development, securities investment and loan financing business. The Group currently holds various commercial, industrial and residential properties in Hong Kong, Singapore and the PRC.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group via its subsidiaries, owned FW Properties i.e. 28 units (including a AP common part) of the FW Building shares 106/120th undivided shares of the entire FW Building which represents 88.33% of the undivided shares of FW Building. The Acquisition will enable the Group to expand the property development segment.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, scheduled in February 2018, the Group shall be the owner of 29 units of the FW Building shares 109/120th undivided shares of the entire FW Building which represents 90.83% of the undivided shares of the FW Building (as contemplated by section 3(1) of the Ordinance); and the Company is entitled to file an application to the Lands Tribunal for an order to sell all the undivided shares in the FW Building for the purpose of redevelopment.

The Acquisition shall further pave way for the Group to redevelop the FW Building site into a high rise composite commercial building and the Company may follow the legal procedures in redevelopment (if necessary) according to the Ordinance which are summarized in the paragraph on “PROCEDURES IN REDEVELOPMENT UNDER THE ORDINANCE” of this circular.

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the SP Agreement including the consideration are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole and the Directors are of the view that for the potential in future development of the FW Building site into a high rise composite commercial building. The Group intends to acquire the Remaining Units and will make further announcement(s) to inform the Shareholders when any purchase of the Remaining Units are transacted.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has made known to the owners of the Remaining Units that the Company has intention to purchase the Remaining Units. The Company shall make its best effort to conclude the sale and purchase with the owners of the Remaining Units at a price with reference to comparables and the indication of the valuation provided by an independent professional valuer from time to time. The Company shall make application to the Lands Tribunal for an order to sell the undivided shares of the FW Building site for redevelopment purpose at the time when any of the owners are asking the purchase price which is unreasonable and much higher than the comparables and the indication of the valuation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have a concrete timing to submit the application under the Ordinance as it depends on the success level in the ongoing negotiations with the owners of the Remaining Units; and the sentiment in the property market for redevelopment in terms of the global and economic environmental factors such as government measures, interest rates, land sale results and the climate on property markets.

PROCEDURES IN REDEVELOPMENT UNDER THE ORDINANCE

The Ordinance provides, in summary, that the person or persons who own not less than 80% of the undivided shares in a lot (“ Majority Owner ”) may make an application to the Lands Tribunal, accompanied by a valuation report (prepared not earlier than 3 months before the date of the application), for an order to sell the undivided shares in the lot for redevelopment purposes (“ Sale Order ”). The Lands Tribunal determines the application by hearing the objection of the minority owners (if any) in respect of the value of any property assessed, or in the case where the minority owners cannot be found, requiring the Majority Owner to satisfy the Lands Tribunal that the value of the minority owner’s property is not less than fair and reasonable. The Lands Tribunal must also be satisfied, among other things, that the development of the lot is justified and the Majority Owner has taken reasonable steps to acquire all the undivided shares in the lot including negotiating for the purchase of such of those shares as are owned by minority owners on terms that are fair and reasonable, before it makes the Sale Order.

Under section 5(1) of the Ordinance, where a Sale Order is granted, the lot shall be sold by (a) public auction, or (b) by other means agreed in writing by each minority owner and Majority Owner of the lot and approved by the Lands Tribunal. Section 5(5) of the Ordinance requires that if the lot is to be sold by auction, it shall be sold to the highest bidder at the auction. It is stated in section 5(5)(b) of the Ordinance that nothing in the Ordinance shall operate to prevent the Majority Owner or the minority owner from being the purchaser of the lot.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Where the Majority Owner is the purchaser of the lot, under section 6 of the Ordinance, it is not required to pay the full purchase price for the lot to the trustees, but to pay not less than the proportion of the amount that the trustees calculate is necessary for it to purchase all the undivided shares in the lot not already owned by it.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, are of the view that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUTURE FUND RAISING EXERCISES

As at 30 November 2017, the Group had unaudited cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$246 million, of which approximately RMB30 million (equivalent to approximately HK$34 million) is tied up in the PRC as investment capital which is not practical to transfer back to Hong Kong. Of the balance of approximately HK$212 million (1) a total of approximately HK$96 million raised from the Company’s previous fund raising activities has been earmarked for the construction cost of the Project Inverness; and (2) the remaining balance of HK$116 million shall be applied for the general working capital of the Group.

As at 31 October 2017, the Group’s bank borrowings amounted to approximately HK$1,036 million and the gearing ratio of the Group as a ratio to bank borrowings to total equity, is 0.41.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any concrete fund raising plans in the next 12 months. The Company shall make further announcements in the future in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate if any suitable fund raising opportunities arise, having regard to the financing needs, business plans and circumstances of the Company at the time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no plan, arrangement, understanding or intention for any potential acquisitions, and no negotiations were taking place in relation to any potential new acquisition.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITIONS

Earnings

As rental income will be generated from the Property, based on the rental income generated for the year ended 31 March 2017, the acquisition of the Property will generate approximately HK$378,000 on the Group’s earnings on rental income per annum.

2. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the Acquisition and the present available financial resources, its expected internally generated funds and the present available banking facilities of the Group, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements and for the period up to 12 months from the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

3. INDEBTEDNESS

At the close of business on 30 November 2017, being the latest practicable date for ascertaining the information prior to the printing of this circular, the Group has outstanding principal amount of bank borrowings of approximately HK$1,035 million, which were both guaranteed by the Company and secured by certain properties of the Group.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

As mentioned in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2017, the Group will continue focusing its efforts in the development of its exiting principal businesses: (1) property investment; (2) property development;

— I-1 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(3) securities investment; (4) loan financing business and other potential projects with a view to providing steady returns for its Shareholders and bring fruitful growth to the Group.

In Hong Kong, despite additional measures imposed by the government to cool the housing market, the impact on the property market was only short-lived. With the prevailing low interest rates and the record of high transacted land prices in the recent land auctions, sentiment in the primary property market has been holding up well, with home buyers’ confidence remaining generally strong.

In addition, the Group will further extend its principal business and direct its resources to loan financing services and it is expected that such business will continue to be part of the main income stream of the Group.

Meanwhile, we will also maintain a stringent financial policy and a prudent cash flow management to ensure reasonable liquidity for the Group’s operations as well as for its existing and future investments.

The Directors believe that, in such a volatile economic environment, these operation strategies will enable the Group to maintain its competitiveness and mitigate risks, thereby ensuring the Group sustainable growth.

5. MATERIAL CHANGE

The Directors confirm that there has been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2017, the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed in

Based on the statutory tax rate of Hong Kong, the total property tax paid and payable in respect of the Tenancy Agreements is estimated to be approximately HK$29,268, HK$30,672, HK$45,308 and HK$43,992 for the financial year ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 and for the six months ended 30 September 2017 respectively.

  4. Pursuant to the Tenancy Agreements, the stamp duty incurred for the financial year ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 and for the six months ended 30 September 2017 were HK$639, nil, HK$1,833 and nil respectively.

  6. Save for the Tenancy Agreements and other publicly available information, the Directors do not have access to other financial information in relation to the Property. Due to the limited information available to them, the Directors, based on the terms of the Tenancy Agreements and the experience of the Company’s management, estimated that the other monthly expenses such as maintenance cost or insurance cost of the Property which are payable by the landlord is minimal. Accordingly, no other expenses such as maintenance cost, insurance cost or finance cost were included in the above financial information.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

  1. Save for the information that the Company could not obtain from the Sellers, the financial information of the Property set out above is prepared using accounting policies which are materially consistent with those of the Company.

  2. The following procedures have been undertaken by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“ Deloitte ”), the auditor of the Company, in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Related Services 4400 “Engagements to Perform Agreed-Upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”), with respect to the Tenancy Agreements.

Deloitte:

  • i. obtained the rental income listing of the Leased Property for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 and the six months ended 30 September 2017 which was prepared by the management of the Company and checked its arithmetical accuracy.

  • ii. obtained the rental income summary of the Leased Property which was prepared by the management of the Company and compared the total amounts of rental income for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 and the six months ended 30 September 2017 as shown in the rental income summary to respective total rental amounts as shown in the rental income listing.

  • iii. compared the particulars of the tenancy periods and monthly rental amounts shown in the rental income listing to respective Tenancy Agreements which were provided to Deloitte by the management of the Company.

Deloitte’s findings are:

  • a. With respect to procedure i, Deloitte found that the rental income listing of the Leased Property for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 and the six months ended 30 September 2017 to be arithmetically accurate.

  • b. With respect to procedure ii, Deloitte found that the total amounts of rental income of the Leased Property for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 and the six months ended 30 September 2017 as shown in the rental income summary to be in agreement with respective total amounts as shown in the rental income listing.

  • c. With respect to procedure iii, Deloitte found that the particulars of the tenancy periods and monthly rental amounts as shown in the rental income listing of the Leased Property to be in agreement with those contained in respective Tenancy Agreements which were provided to Deloitte by the management of the Company.

Because the above procedures do not constitute an assurance engagement performed in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the HKICPA, Deloitte does not express any assurance on the rental income summary or the rental income listing.

Had Deloitte performed additional procedures or had Deloitte performed an assurance engagement on the rental income summary or the rental income listing in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the HKICPA, other matters might have come to Deloitte’s attention that would have been reported to the Company.

  1. The directors of the Company are of the views that the omission of a profit and loss statement for the net income stream of the Leased Property in the past would not render this circular materially incomplete and misleading or deceptive.

VALUATION OF THE PROPERTY

No valuation of the Property at the end of the three years ended 31 March 2017 has been disclosed herein as the Directors were unable to obtain any valuation reports from the Sellers. The valuation on the Property as at 23 November 2017 is set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

The following is the text of a report received from our reporting accountants, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular, in respect of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE DIRECTORS OF EMINENCE ENTERPRISE LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Eminence Enterprise Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Group ”) by the directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 September 2017 and related notes as set out in Section A of Appendix III to the circular issued by the Company dated 4 January 2018 (the “ Circular ”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described in Section A of Appendix III to the Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed acquisition of workshop space A1, ground floor of Fung Wah Factorial Building situated at No. 646, 648 & 648A Castle Peak Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong (the “ Acquisition ”) on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2017 as if the Acquisition had taken place at 30 September 2017. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2017, on which no review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“ AG 7 ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the “Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants” issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information.

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 30 September 2017 would have been as presented.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • the unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Board of Directors

Eminence Enterprise Limited Block A, 7th Floor, Hong Kong Spinners Industrial Building Phase 6, Nos. 481-483 Castle Peak Road,, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instruction for us to value the Property to be acquired by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of “Eminence Enterprise Limited” (referred to as “ the Company ” and collectively referred to as “ the Group ”), we confirm that we have inspected the Property, made relevant enquiries and investigations as well as obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing our opinion of value of the Property as at 23 November 2017 (the “ Valuation Date ”).

BASIS OF VALUE

Our valuation is our opinion of market value of the Property which is defined as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”. Our valuation has been prepared in accordance with “The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition)” published by “The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors” (“ HKIS ”), “RICS Valuation — Global Standards 2017” published by the “Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors” (“ RICS ”), relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the “Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited” (Main Board) published by “The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited” (“ HKEx ”).

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION APPROACH

In our valuation, we have valued the Property on the basis of capitalisation of net rental income derived from the existing tenancies with allowance onto the reversionary interest of the Property and made reference to comparable market transactions. Comparable property with similar character, location, sizes and so on are analyzed and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the Property in order to arrive at the fair comparison of values.

TITLE INVESTIGATIONS

We have conducted land searches at the Land Registry but we have not searched the original documents to ascertain ownership nor to verify any lease amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference purposes and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

VALUATION CONSIDERATION

On-site inspection to the Property was carried out by Mr. Jeff M.C. Liu BSc(Hons) on 30th November 2017. But we must stress that we have not carried out any structural survey nor have we inspected the woodwork or other parts of the structures of the Property which was covered, unexposed or inaccessible to us. We are therefore unable to report whether such part of the Property is free from any structural or non-structural defect.

Having examined all relevant documents, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group, particularly planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, land-use rights, site areas, floor areas, occupancy status and in the identification of the Property.

Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information made available to us and we have been advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information so given.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the Property could be sold in the prevailing market in existing state but without the effect of any deferred term contract, leaseback, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which may serve to affect the value of the Property, unless otherwise noted or specified. In addition, no account has been taken into of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the Property.

The land lease of the Property had expired before 30th June 1997, and we have taken into account of the provisions contained in Annex III of the “Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the question of Hong Kong” as well as the “New Territories Leases (Extension) Ordinance” that such land lease has been extended without paying additional land premium until 30th June 2047.

— IV-2 —

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

In our valuation, we have assumed that the owner(s) of the Property has free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the Property during the whole of the unexpired landlease term granted subject to the payment of usual Government Rent.

We had carried out on-site inspection to the Property but no soil investigation has been carried out to determine the suitability of ground condition or building services for any property development or to be erected on the Property. Our valuation has been carried out on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. In our valuation, we have also assumed that all necessary consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities have been or will have been granted for any property development erected or to be erected on the Property.

Our market value assessment of the Property is the value estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase or transaction and without offset for any associated tax(es) or potential tax(es). Any transaction cost(s) or encumbrances such as mortgage, debenture or other charges against the Property has been disregarded. In our valuation, we have assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which may serve to affect the value of the Property.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated herein are denoted in the currency of Hong Kong Dollars (“ HK$ ”), the lawful currency of Hong Kong.

We enclose herewith the core content of our valuation report.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

By wavier letter from the government of the HKSAR by the District Lands Officer/Kowloon West dated 20th August 2004, the Property was granted a waiver for an area of 53.0000 square metres (or 570 square feet) for the purpose of Fast Food Shop and another portion of an area of 39.4000 square metres (or 424 square feet) for the purpose of retail shop. This wavier was initial for a term of three years from 24th July 2003 and thereafter quarterly until time as the wavier is terminated or revoked pursuant to the conditions stipulated in the wavier letter.

  1. The property falls within an area zoned “Other Specified Uses (Business 1)” on Approved Cheung Sha Wan Outline Zoning Plan No. S/K5/37 (“ the Outline Zoning Plan ”) dated 6th December 2016. According to the explanatory note attached to the Outline Zoning Plan, on land designated “Other Specified Uses (Business 1)”, no new development, or addition, alternation and/or modification to or redevelopment of an existing building shall result in a total development and/or redevelopment in excess of a maximum plot ratio of 12.0 or the plot ratio of the existing building(s), whichever is the greater; and in excess of a maximum building heights of 130 metres above Principal Datum, or the height of the existing building, whichever is the greater.

  2. In our valuation, we have compared the asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available. Comparable properties with similar character, location and so on are analysed and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the property in order to arrive at the fair comparison of value.

  3. Comparables of the ground floor units with temporary waiver are however rare. We have taken into consideration the newly built development, W668 at Castle Peak Road. Industrial units of Ground Floor together with 1st Floor in W688 could fetch a price of HK$33,603 to HK$50,120 per square foot. Our valuation falls within these ranges.

  4. In assessing the site value attributable to the Property, we have apportioned the 100% site value in accordance with the proportion of the existing value of the Property to the total existing value of all the units in the Development currently erected on the Lot, which is assessed to be HK$363,540,000 only. No allowance has been given to the possible costs, which are required for the amalgamation of the 100% shares of the subject lots either by private negotiation or by the compulsory sale order under Land (Compulsory Sale For Redevelopment) Ordinance Cap 545.

  5. As per our inspection and according to the information provided by the Group, the Property was repartitioned to accommodate three retail areas. As the aforesaid enclosure and structure appear to be unauthorised, we have disregarded them in our valuation and we have accessed the Property accordingly to its original layout and use; and no allowance has been made for remedial work(s), if any.

  6. We note that Notice No. UBCSI/06-23/0025/11 by The Building Authority under S.24(1) of The Buildings Ordinance was registered against the Property. In the course of our valuation, we have assumed the aforesaid Notice have been complied with and to the satisfaction of the Building Authority; and no allowance has been made for remedial work(s), if any.
