To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE DISPOSAL OF 54.54% OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF JLC INC.

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 26 April 2019, 31 May 2019, 28 June 2019 and 9 July 2019 in relation to the Disposal. On 26 April 2019, the Company entered into the Disposal Agreement with the Purchasers and the Target Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and the Purchasers have agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, being 54.54% of the entire issued share capital of Target Company, at a cash consideration of RMB47,433,000 (or an equivalent amount in US Dollars or HK Dollars) (the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

‘‘Transaction’’). Shortly after the signing of the Disposal Agreement, the Company was informed by AP China SPC, one of the Purchasers, that it would exit the Transaction due to certain internal requirement, upon which, the Company and AP China SPC engaged in active discussion in order to ensure that the Transaction will proceed with minimal disruption. Whilst there was no business dealing, the Company, AP China SPC and Best Hero have always been acquainted with each other through industry network. Upon learning that Best Hero would also be interested in the Transaction, the Company, AP China SPC, Blue Whale, Best Hero and the Target Company, entered into the Supplemental Agreement on 9 July 2019, pursuant to which AP China SPC agreed to assign to Best Hero all its rights, privileges, power, title, interest, protections and all benefits accruing to AP China SPC under the Disposal Agreement, together with all its obligations thereunder, to the effect as if Best Hero had been an original party to the Disposal Agreement since the date of the Disposal Agreement. The purpose of this circular is to provide, among others, (i) further information on the Disposal; (ii) other information required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules; and (iii) a notice of the EGM.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISPOSAL

On 16 August 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the Target Company (the ‘‘Acquisition’’), in consideration of the cancellation of the convertible bonds in the principal amount of RMB300.0 million.

As disclosed in the Company’s annual results announcement dated 27 March 2018, the investment payment in relation to the Acquisition made by the Company was subject to a profit guarantee (the ‘‘Profit Guarantee’’) linked to the adjusted audited net income (the ‘‘Adjusted Net Income’’) of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2017. The Target Group’s Adjusted Net Income has exceeded RMB60.0 million and therefore the Profit Guarantee of not less than RMB60.0 million has been fulfilled for the year ended 31 December 2017.

However, under the tightening liquidity resulting from the drastic change in the fintech industry and the stricter industrial regulation in 2018, Jianlicai (as defined below), as a financial information service agency, decided to adjust its business model to discontinue and gradually decrease its ‘‘Wealth Management Plan’’ products in July 2018, resulting in a gradual decrease in revenue. Meanwhile, new standardised asset products were launched.

As mentioned in the Company’s 2018 interim report, the Group adopted a discounted cash flow (‘‘DCF’’) method to determine the recoverable amount of the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets arising from the Acquisition, and in light of the actual operating performance after the above mentioned business adjustments, the Group adjusted the financial projection of the existing ‘‘Wealth Management Plan’’ business model. Besides, the new standardised asset products are in the early stages of their life cycles, and cannot provide sufficient information to support their future operating performance in such a short period. Therefore, the Group did not include the financial projection of the new standardised asset products in the DCF. After conducting careful deliberations with its external consultants, the Group recorded an impairment on the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets arising from the Acquisition amounting to RMB349.1 million (after tax amounting to approximately RMB320.5 million).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further, as disclosed in the Company’s 2018 annual report, the actual operating performance of the Target Group in the second half of 2018 showed that (i) the revenue generated from the existing ‘‘Wealth Management Plan’’ business model decreased significantly, and (ii) the Group did not record any income from the new standardised asset products as they were in the early stages.

For details, please also refer to the Company’s announcements dated 27 March 2018, 29 July 2018, 17 August 2018, 10 January 2019, 2018 interim report published on 20 September 2018 and 2018 annual report published on 23 April 2019.

THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

Date: 26 April 2019 Parties: Vendor: the Company Purchasers: Blue Whale and Best Hero Target Company: Jlc Inc.

Supplemental Agreement

The Disposal Agreement was originally entered into by and among the Company, AP China SPC, Blue Whale and the Target Company, where AP China SPC was one of the purchasers. On 9 July 2019, the Company, AP China SPC, Blue Whale, Best Hero and the Target Company, entered into the Supplemental Agreement, pursuant to which AP China SPC agreed to assign to Best Hero all its rights, privileges, power, title, interest, protections and all benefits accruing to AP China SPC under the Disposal Agreement, together with all its obligations thereunder, to the effect as if Best Hero had been an original party to the Disposal Agreement since the date of the Disposal Agreement.

Upon the entering of the Supplemental Agreement, all the rights and obligations of AP China SPC under the Disposal Agreement shall be terminated and each party to the Disposal Agreement does not have any claims or rights of action against AP China SPC under the Disposal Agreement.

Further, pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, Blue Whale and Best Hero agreed to enter into the Share Mortgage Agreement in favour of the Company on or immediately after the Completion, pursuant to which Blue Whale and Best Hero shall pledge 70% of the Sale Shares held by them (i.e. 24,181,095 shares in the Target Company to be held by Blue Whale

Consideration for the Sale Shares

The consideration for the Sale Shares (the ‘‘Consideration’’) shall be RMB47,433,000 (or an equivalent amount in US Dollars or HK Dollars) in cash and each Purchaser shall pay to the Company 30% of its applicable amount of its Consideration on the date of Completion and 70% of its applicable amount of the Consideration within six (6) months of the date of Completion. At the time of the entering of the Disposal Agreement, the Purchasers indicated that additional time is required to arrange the necessary funding for the Disposal. Upon arm’s length negotiation, having discussed and taken into consideration the funding means of the Purchasers, the parties agreed that 70% of its applicable amount of the Consideration within six (6) months of the date of Completion.

If any Purchaser fails to pay any sum of its applicable amount of the Consideration on the due date of such payment as provided in the Disposal Agreement, the overdue part of such Consideration shall bear an interest of 0.2% per day from the due date until such Consideration is fully paid. In the event that the Purchasers fail to pay the interest under such circumstance, the Company is entitled to commence litigation against the Purchasers in the PRC, which will adversely affect the Purchasers’ reputation within the industry. Having taken into consideration of the background of the Purchasers, the Company is of the view that the possibility that the Purchasers would not honor its contractual commitment is relatively low.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the latest discussion with the Purchasers and having discussed the status of their respective funding plan as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company expects that the remaining 70% of the Consideration will be paid to the Company within the six (6) months period after Completion in accordance with the Disposal Agreement. Accordingly, having taken into consideration of the background of the Purchasers, the penalty mechanism as well as the security to be provided under the Share Mortgage Agreement, the Company is of the view that the payment mechanism is fair and reasonable.

Basis of the Consideration

The consideration of RMB47,433,000 (or equivalent US Dollars or HK Dollars) was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Purchasers. In determining the Consideration, the Directors considered, among other things:

  • (a) the significant change in the regulatory environment of the fintech industry in the PRC since July 2018;

  • (b) the financial conditions and business prospects of the Target Company deteriorated in the second half of the year 2018, as the revenue generated from the existing ‘‘Wealth Management Plan’’ business model decreased significantly and the Group did not record any income from the new standardised asset products as they were in the early stages;

  • (c) the Group recorded an impairment on the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets arising from the Acquisition amounting to RMB349.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018;

  • (d) the valuation of the Target Group, being RMB86,969,000 as of 31 December 2018, prepared on the basis of fair value of the Target Group using asset based approach by a professional third party valuer independent of the Company and its connected persons. The asset based approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from condition, utility, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence (physical, functional or economical) present, taking into consideration past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history; and

  • (e) the Disposal allows the Company to free up its resources from the Target Company and focus on the investments in new businesses with higher potential.

In view of the above, the Directors are of the opinion that the Consideration and the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE DISPOSAL

Operational Environment for Fintech Business

The environment of the fintech industry in the PRC has significantly changed compared to the time of the Acquisition of the Target Company in 2017. On 19 July 2018, the Beijing Internet Finance Industry Association (北京市互聯網金融行業協會) (the ‘‘Association’’) issued a warning letter (the ‘‘Warning Letter’’), pursuant to which the Association emphasized that peer-to-peer online lending platforms are prohibited from offering to investors any wealth management plan of which the term and size are not in compliance with the relevant regulated requirement and any online leading platforms offering such kind of products shall immediately cease to offer such product. In August 2018, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued a notice entitled ‘‘Notice on Conducting P2P Network Lending Organization Compliance Checks’’ (關於開展P2P網絡借貸機構合規檢查工 作的通知), which sets forth the Chinese government’s rectification campaign against risk within the online finance sector, and highlighted the continued presence of ‘‘pronounced compliance risk’’ amongst certain P2P platforms, including those engaging in operation in breach of regulations without licenses or qualifications. In particular, since the Warning Letter and other regulatory changes during the year 2018, many fintech companies ceased to offer wealth management plan and adjusted their rules for fund transfers, and resulted in the following operational problem faced by many fintech companies:

(1) Increase in compliance costs which weakened the profitability for fintech business

Since the second half of the year 2018, the relevant authority has been strengthening regulation and compliance requirements in fintech industry. The stricter regulation policies increased compliance costs and in turn weakened fintech business’ profitability, and therefore brought the increment of operation difficulties to fintech companies.

(2) Decrease in asset size which in turn decreased revenue

The revenue of fintech companies comes from the service fee paid by asset holders or investors, which is computed by the size of asset times the service fee rate. In order to meet the demand of liquidity, the fintech companies have to collect cash as soon as possible by disposing assets. However, since the new standardised asset products are still in the early stages, the business size is still small, so the income generated from the new standardised asset products is not sufficient to cover the loss resulting from the reduction of non-standardised asset products. The decrease of asset size leads to the decrease of revenue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (3) Imbalance of liquidity lead by the weakening of user confidence in fintech products

Since the second half of the year 2018, many online lending platforms have encountered liquidity issues which was the main reason for the failure of the majority of online lending platforms. According to a research report issued by a third party analyst, this was likely driven by (i) macro credit tightening which triggered rising defaults, especially for corporate or property related loans, (ii) voluntary exit of some online lending platforms in light of rising compliance costs, and (iii) retail investors’ panic and a rush of withdrawals, causing a liquidity crunch for platforms with significant duration mismatches and weak capital bases. Such fintech crisis had hugely impacted user confidence, many fintech users issued fund withdrawal requests, including Jianlicai’s users. As a result of which, fund outflow outweighed the fund inflow and the costs for obtaining a new client has significantly increased for many fintech companies during the year 2018. In order to ease the imbalance between users and asset providers, Jianlicai also adjusted the rules on funds transfer, and set certain limit on the amount of funds transferred by users. Such adjustments helped Jianlicai successfully pass through the most difficult time. However, the user confidence was affected and some users ceased using Jianlicai’s service after they withdrew their funds.

Operational Difficulties faced by Jianlicai

The Group’s fintech business consists of two brands, namely Jianlicai and Yunke.

Jianlicai

Jianlicai, as a financial information service agency, assists investors to purchase nonstandard credit assets through financial asset exchange, and a large portion of such transaction assets are categorized as ‘‘wealth management plan’’ assets and captured under the Warning Letter. Therefore, in order to embrace the spirit of regulations, Jianlicai’s management has decided to comprehensively adjusted its business model (as stated in the announcement of the Company dated 29 July 2018), including:

  • (i) it has ceased to offer wealth management plan products and gradually reduced the balance of those kind of products (i.e. non-standard assets);

  • (ii) it developed and launched standard asset products to replace wealth management plan products and other products that may be deemed as non-compliant by the regulators;

  • (iii) it set a certain limit on the amount of withdrawal to relieve the pressure of liquidity and ensure users orderly transfer of funds;

  • (iv) it signed the ‘‘Beijing Online Lending Industry Self-discipline Commitment’’ as one of the first batch of enterprises, along with other leading fintech enterprises, and committed itself to comply with the regulations, achieve self-discipline, embrace regulations and be responsible; and

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (v) it continued to communicate with the regulators to adjust its business according to the latest regulations, guidelines and advice as promulgated by the government from time to time.

As a result of such changes, ‘‘wealth management plan’’, as the base of Jianlicai’s valuation on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, had ceased and will not be re-launched in the foreseeable future. As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 17 August 2018, an after-tax impairment of RMB320.5 million has been made on Jianlicai’s goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

All of the above market changes, including tightening liquidity, decreasing revenue, and increasing cost, resulted in the increment of Jianlicai’s operation difficulties, of which the income was decreased and the expense was increased. From January to March 2019, Jianlicai recorded an unaudited operating loss of approximately RMB4,665,000. Meanwhile, the Group is currently upgrading its game business such as large space virtual reality business which was disclosed in the Company’s announcements dated 9 April 2019 and 24 April 2019.

Considering Jianlicai’s overall current status and future development, the Group intended to dispose Jianlicai to third parties with business resource advantage to restructure Jianlicai’s business and deemed it beneficial to both the Group and Jianlicai.

Remaining business of the Group upon Completion

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group’s principal businesses consist of game business and fintech business. The game business can be further segmented into domestic game business and overseas game business, and the fintech business includes internet micro-credit business and financial information service business.

Domestic game business

For the year 2018, revenue generated by the domestic game business amounted to RMB45 million, and the main games include many developed and/or published games such as ‘‘True King (真王)’’, ‘‘Soul Guardian (凡人修真)’’, and ‘‘Beauty Box (美美小店)’’ etc.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, two new self-developed H5 games are in the testing process. One of them has been authorized for publishing and received RMB1 million pre-paid revenue allocation, and it is being connected to different distributors and will be available for market in the near future, and the other one is targeted to be published through a well-known distributor.

In the past two years, the Group had optimized its business structure to effectively reduce costs of game business (specifically, reducing marketing expenses and salary expenses) and improve profitability. Going forward, the Group plans to further develop its business by cooperating with other strategic partners on new games.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has reached a few strategic partners for business negotiation, and the Group expects the aforesaid business model will bring additional revenue and profit to the Group in 2019.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overseas game business

For the year 2018, revenue generated by overseas game business amounted to RMB46 million, mainly from the game ‘‘Liberators’’.

‘‘Liberators’’ is a web game that based on the history of World War II. As at the Latest Practicable Date, ‘‘Liberators’’ has daily ARPPU about RMB100 and the retention rate of 97%. By analyzing massive ‘‘Liberators’’ player data including log-in time, retention rate, and payment data for over 3 years operation, the overseas operation team had summarized an effective marketing methodology to retain players and increase the life circle of players.

As stated in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, ‘‘Liberators’’ continued to generate steady monthly gross billings of more than RMB3.0 million without any large-scale promotional campaign since the first quarter of 2017. Since the company started the promotional campaign, ‘‘Liberators’’ has generated a net income of over RMB41.0 million after deducting content cost, distribution cost and promotional expenses. The success reflects the deep understanding of overseas games and the Company’s ability to launch overseas advertising campaigns.

Going forward, the Group plans to continue launching online events on ‘‘Liberators’’, such as ‘‘Castle Event’’, ‘‘Persian Merchant Event’’, and ‘‘Lucky Tree Event’’ to maintain the players’ interest, meanwhile, the Company will apply such experience and abilities in new launching overseas games, such as ‘‘Clothes Forever 2’’.

As a result, the Company expects that the overall business scale of domestic game business and overseas game business will remain comparable to the year of 2018.

Internet micro-credit business

For the year 2018, revenue generated by the internet micro-credit loan business amounted to RMB39 million.

The Group’s internet micro-credit business is operated under the brand name Yunke (雲 客). As one of the few licensed internet micro-credit companies in PRC, Yunke is able to legally issue micro-credit loans to customers nationwide through online platform. Currently, PRC has around 260 licensed internet micro-credit companies, and new issuance of such permits is currently forbidden. As at 30 April 2019, Yunke had issued loans accumulated over RMB10.4 billion, generated revenue accumulated over RMB99 million. The strong fintech capability of the company supports Yunke to efficiently and effectively expand its business nationwide without limitation of geography and human resource, which has more potential to be discovered and realized.

Going forward, Yunke plans to further develop its collateralized loans and guaranteed loans business nationwide, including (i) enlarging the base of customers to the higher quality population with financial needs; (ii) issuing new products with different length and quota; and (iii) increasing leverage by operating with financing resources like banks and trusts. Based on the aforesaid, Yunke expects the loan size in the year of 2019 will continue to increase.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Virtual reality business (the ‘‘VR business’’)

On 24 April 2019, the Group entered into an investment agreement to acquire 北京西瓜互 娛科技有限責任公司 (Beijing Xigua Huyu Technology Co., Ltd.*), a company established with limited liability in the PRC, which principally engaged in offering self-developed games as well as exclusively licensed games in its physical stores that are equipped with space positioning technology and virtual reality devices. The new VR business has different business logic as compared to the Group’s existing web game business, and accordingly represents as business upgrade for the Group. For further details in relation to the VR business, please refer to the Company’s announcements dated 9 April 2019, 24 April 2019, 24 May 2019 and 26 June 2019.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any intention or negotiation or has entered, or proposes to enter into any agreement, arrangement, understanding or undertaking to downsize, cease or dispose of any of the Company’s remaining businesses upon Completion.

Based on the aforesaid, the Directors consider that (i) the Disposal will lower the Group’s business risk due to the high uncertainty of fintech business since the second half of the year 2018; (ii) the Disposal will allow the Group to allocate its resources to other businesses which may generate higher return (such as large space virtual reality business which was disclosed in the Company’s announcements dated 9 April 2019 and 24 April 2019); (iii) the Disposal will eliminate the negative impact of Jianlicai brought from its operating loss that affected the Group’s overall financial performance; and (iv) the terms of the Disposal Agreement, including the Consideration, which are determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Purchasers, are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Whilst the Company has yet to identify any potential acquisition target of such kind as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company considered that such kind of business may have higher potential and therefore will be in the interest in the Company as a whole in a long-run.

APPENDIX II

Overview of China Internet Finance Market

Despite the growth of the China internet finance market as a whole, the online peer-topeer (‘‘P2P’’) lending segment was undergoing a massive shake out. As risks have piled up around P2P platforms and the number of underground fund raising and financing activities have grown, the National Online Landing Rectification Office of Chinese government launched regulatory crackdown of the country’s P2P industry aiming to reduce the number of P2P platform to a manageable level. On 19 July 2018, the Beijing Internet Finance Industry Association (北京市互聯網金融行業協會) issued a document (the ‘‘19 July Document’’) to clarify that peer-to-peer online lending platforms are prohibited from offering investors noncompliant ‘‘Wealth Management Plan’’ products because there may be mismatch of durations and sizes with such products as well as other non-compliances. As a result, many P2P lending platform were being shut down or asked to sign voluntary closing commitments.

According to Wang Dai Zhi Jia (‘‘WDZJ’’), a board member of National Internet Finance Association of China (中國互聯網金融協會), the total transaction volume of the China P2P lending market was RMB95.46 trillion in February 2019, representing a year-on-year growth rate of negative 43.52%.

APPENDIX II

VALUATION APPROACH

General Valuation Approaches

There are three generally accepted approaches to appraise the fair value of the equity value of the Target Group, namely Income Approach, Market Approach and Asset Based Approach. All three of them have been considered regarding the valuation of the Target Group:

Income Approach

The income approach provides an indication of value based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more than the present value of anticipated future economic benefits generated by the subject asset.

The fundamental method for income approach is the discounted cash flow (‘‘DCF’’) method. Under the DCF method, the value depends on the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the enterprise. Thus, an indication of the equity value is calculated as the present value of the future free cash flow of a company less outstanding interest-bearing debt, if any. The future cash flow is discounted at the market-derived rate of return appropriate for the risks and hazards of investing in a similar business.

Market Approach

The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset to similar assets that have been sold in the market, with appropriate adjustments for the differences between the subject asset and the assets that are considered to be comparable to the subject asset.

Under the market approach, the comparable company method computes a price multiple for publicly listed companies that are considered to be comparable to the subject asset and then applies the result to a base of the subject asset. The comparable transaction method computes a price multiple using recent sales and purchase transactions of assets that are considered to be comparable to the subject asset and then applies the result to a base of the subject asset.

Asset Based Approach

The asset based approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from condition, utility, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence (physical, functional or economical) present, taking into consideration past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history.

VALUATION REPORT FROM THE VALUER

APPENDIX II

Selected Valuation Approach

Each of the abovementioned approaches is appropriate in one or more circumstances, and sometimes, two or more approaches may be used together. Whether to adopt a particular approach will be determined by the most commonly adopted practice in valuing business entities that are similar in nature. In this appraisal regarding the fair value of the equity value of the Target Group, we applied the Asset Based Approach due to the following reasons:

  • . Income Approach is not appropriate in the current appraisal as plenty of assumptions were involved in formulating the financial projection of the Target Group, and the assumptions might not be able to reflect the uncertainties in the future performance of the Target Group. Referring to the historical performance of the Target Group before the release of the 19 July Document, its revenue was in growing trend alongside with the booming in China P2P market which was experiencing an annualized growth rate of 14.9% compared to FY2017. After the change in policy enforcement, the revenue of the Target Group in the second half of FY2018 has shrunk by approximately half of the size of its first half year of FY2018. Due to the evolving uncertainties of the market environment, the Management considers that they cannot provide a precise and concrete financial projection on the business. Improper assumptions will impose significant impact on the fair value of the Target Group. Considering the current situation of the China fintech market, together with the loss-making operating performance of the Target Group in January and February of 2019 due to business adjustments and the fact that new asset products of the Target Group have not yet generated stable and sustainable income, it is considered that Income Approach is not applicable in this valuation.

  • . Market Approach is also considered not appropriate as there are rising uncertainties and instabilities factoring and surrounding to the fintech market in China which would indirectly and negatively impact the future business of the Target Group. According to WDZJ, the outstanding loan balance of China P2P lending platform has entered into a falling trend which shows the market is under consolidation from the aftermath of policy change. Instability and ambiguities are furnishing the China internet finance industry and thus the business of the Target Group. Under such uncertain situation, together with the declining trend in the Target Group’s financial performance due to the policy change, neither historical nor forecast financial data of the Target Group is considered reliable to be benchmarked to market multiples of comparable companies in determining the value of the Target Group. Hence, Market Approach is not adopted in this appraisal.

  • . Fair value arrived from Asset Based Approach is based on the principle that the sum of each asset and liability component represents the overall value of the Target Group. It has assumed that the fair value of the Target Group will be equal to the sum of each of the components of assets and liabilities are individually valued, their sum represents the value of the Target Group. Since Income Approach and Market Approach are both considered not appropriate, while the current value of the Target Group is considered to be best represented by the net asset value of the Target Group, Asset Based Approach is adopted in this valuation.

2. Account Receivable

Account receivable is mainly referring to the administrative fee income receivable from the suppliers of financial products for providing platform services. For evaluation on the recoverability of account receivable, we have confirmed with the Management that such receivable balance has been assessed for expected credit losses in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards.

3. Prepayment and other receivables

Prepayment and other receivables mainly represent the operating expenses that have been prepaid. They include prepayment of rental deposits, promotional expenses, cloud services fee and technical services fee and other miscellaneous expenses. For assessing prepayments and other receivables, we have discussed with the Management to understand the nature of the items as of the Valuation Date. Prepayments and other receivables were mostly made in recent years. No bad debts were caused as a result of bankruptcy, liquidation, death, disappearance or other force majeure of such debtors. The appraised value was recognized at book value as no assets have been identified as unrecoverable.

Non-Current Asset:

4. Other Receivable

Other receivable is mainly consisted of prepayment on legal services fee, property administrative fee, insurance for employees etc. No bad debts were caused as a result of bankruptcy, liquidation, death, disappearance or other force majeure of such debtors.

These assets are purchased from external third parties on arm’s length basis, and have been depreciated in accordance with the Target Group’s depreciation policies.
