– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As any Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Acquisition, the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder are required to abstain from voting on the relevant ordinary resolution(s) approving the Acquisition, the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder, each of Mr. Chen, Mr. Yu, CSPT, the relevant directors of CSPT and their respective close associates will abstain from voting on the relevant ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM.

Background

The Company has always been targeting high-end luxury residential properties for property investment. With the aid of estate agency which regularly introduces residential properties to the Company, on or around 6 December 2017 the Board already had three other properties located at La Salle Road (“ Property A ”), Surrey Lane (“ Property B ”) and Cumberland Road (“ Property C ”), Kowloon Tong to choose from with asking prices of approximately HKD180 million, HKD190 million and HKD200 million, respectively.

On 12 December 2017, there were telephone communications between Mr. Chen (a common director of the Company and CSPT), Mr. Siu Yun Fat (“ Mr. Siu ”, an executive Director) and Mr. Szeto Pui Tong, Patrick (“ Mr. Szeto ”, company secretary of CSPT) regarding the Placing through a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSPT, during which Mr. Siu also expressed the Group’s interest in acquiring luxury residential property in Kowloon Tong for investment. Mr. Chen represented that CSPT had a luxury residential property in Kowloon Tong, i.e. the Property, intended for sale and asked whether the Group had any interest. Mr. Siu then gathered and passed the information of the four properties to the Group for consideration.

The Group compared the Property with Property A, Property B and Property C. In regard to Property A, it was not suitable to the Group as the Group would need to incur extra time and costs to alter the internal partitions before leasing out the property. In regard to Property B, the unit rate of saleable area was much higher than that of Property A, Property C and the Property. Therefore, it was considered that the asking price was not favourable to the Group. In regard to Property C, based on the representation of the estate agency, the Property was completed before the 1950s. As extra time and costs would be incurred to renovate and repair the property for rental purpose, the Group took the view that Property C was not suitable for its investment purpose.

As compared with Property A, Property B and Property C, the unit rate of saleable area of the Property is relatively lower. Further, the Property, completed in 2008, is relatively new, such that no substantial renovation work would be required and the Property would be readily suitable for rental purpose. In addition, the Property is the most luxurious one amongst the abovementioned properties, and the Group is more familiar with the properties located at Lincoln Road as it previously owned a nearby luxury residential property located at No. 2, Lincoln Road. The Group, having taking into account the above factors as a whole, considered that the Property as the best option for investment and decided to proceed with the Acquisition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

There were subsequent discussions between Mr. Siu, Mr. Lau Cheuk Pun (“ Mr. Lau ”, the company secretary of the Company) and Mr. Szeto on the preliminary terms of the Acquisition including, without limitation, amount of the Consideration and manner of settlement, and tentative timetable including the expected timing of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the expected date of completion of the Acquisition. On 14 December 2017, the first draft of the Sale and Purchase Agreement was provided to the Company by the legal advisers of CSPT for review. On 15 December 2017, led by Mr. Siu, the Company commenced its due diligence work on the key operational and financial aspects of the Target Company as well as title of the Property, and conducted site visit at the Property. On 18 December 2017, Mr. Lau reported the proposed Acquisition to the Board. In the following weeks, there were several rounds of discussions between Mr. Siu, Mr. Lau and Mr. Szeto to finalise the detailed terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the total amount of the Sale Loan, outstanding mortgage on the Property and the due diligence progress. On 29 December 2017, the Sale and Purchase Agreement was approved by the Board and concluded between the parties.

Save for referring the investment opportunity of the Property to the Group by Mr. Chen, the common directors in the Company and CSPT did not have any role in the Acquisition or engage in any discussion in relation to the material terms of the Acquisition, and they have abstained from voting at the Board meeting which considered the Acquisition.

Subject matter to be acquired

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire the Sale Share, representing the entire issued share capital of the Target Company and the Sale Loan. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CSPT.

Consideration for the Acquisition

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Consideration is HKD260,000,000, which shall be satisfied by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares by the Company to the Vendor (or such designated party as the Vendor may direct), credited as fully paid, at the Issue Price on Completion.

The Consideration was agreed between the Vendor and the Purchaser after arm’s length negotiations on normal commercial terms with reference to the difference between (i) the valuation of the Property of HKD400,000,000 conducted by the Independent Valuer, the final valuation report of which dated 28 December 2017 is set out in Appendix V to this circular; and (ii) the outstanding mortgage on the Property amounted to approximately HKD139,556,000 as at 30 November 2017.

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 1.40% over the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share of approximately HKD0.143 (based on the latest published unaudited net asset value of the Group of HKD926,624,000 as at 30 June 2017 and 6,485,187,998 Shares in issue as at 30 June 2017); and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 33.79% to the closing price of HKD0.219 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Relevance of the above factors in determining the Issue Price

(i) The then prevailing market price of the Share

During the discussions between Mr. Siu, Mr. Lau and Mr. Szeto on the preliminary terms of the Acquisition including the Consideration and manner of settlement between 12 December and 14 December 2017, the average of the closing price of per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for these three trading days was approximately HKD0.195. Both the Vendor and the Company subsequently noted that there was material fluctuation in the then prevailing market price of the Share, and the closing price of the Share increased significantly from HKD0.194 as at 14 December 2017 to HKD0.36 as at 29 December 2017 (being the date of entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement), representing an increase of approximately 85.6% during such period. It was disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 18 December 2017 that, save as the possible Acquisition which was then at the preliminary stage, the Board was not aware of any reason for such fluctuation in the Share price and trading volume at the relevant time. As the closing price of the Share on the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement had experienced a drastic and sudden increase within only 10 trading days, the parties took the view that it might not be a suitable indicator, and the parties were inclined to make references to other indicators (as discussed in paragraphs (ii) to (iv) below) which were less affected by the aforesaid fluctuation in the Share price.

(ii) The Placing Price

The placing agreement in relation to the Placing was concluded on 11 December 2017, which was only shortly before the commencement of discussion of the Acquisition between the parties, and the placing shares would be placed to the placees at HKD0.145 per placing share (which represented a discount of 17.61% to the benchmarked price of the Shares at the closing price of HKD0.176 as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the placing agreement), the Company took the view, and the Vendor agreed, that the Issue Price should make reference to the Placing Price, as (a) the Placing Price could be a suitable indicator which reflected the value of the Share readily acceptable to investors in the market at that time; (b) the Placing Price was determined before the aforesaid fluctuation in Share price at a relatively stable price level; and (c) the Placing Price showed no significant deviation from the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2017, the 90-trading day average closing price and 150-trading day average closing price (as discussed below respectively).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) The unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share of approximately HKD0.143 as at 30 June 2017

The Vendor and the Company acknowledged that the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share of approximately HKD0.143 as at 30 June 2017 is the latest information on the value of the Group’s assets in public domain readily available to the parties, and it is a fair and objective indicator of the value of the Group’ assets which should be made as reference by the parties.

(iv) The average of closing prices

The parties also made references to the average of the closing prices of the Share as respectively quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days and 150 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The following table sets forth the closing prices of the Share on the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the average of the closing price of the Share in the interval of every 30 trading days prior to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement:

Discount of
the Issue Price
to the
Closing price closing price
(HKD)
(approximately) (approximately)
Date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement 0.36 59.7%
30-trading day average 0.209 30.6%
60-trading day average 0.188 22.9%
90-trading day average 0.187 22.5%
120-trading day average 0.170 14.7%
150-trading day average 0.172 15.7%

It is observed from the above table that:

  • (a) the significant discount of the Issue Price to the 30-trading day average closing price is primarily attributable to the material increase of the Share price between 14 December and 29 December 2017;

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the 60-trading day average closing price and 90-trading day average closing price are relatively stable, and the discount of the Issue Price to the 60-trading day average closing price and 90-trading day average closing price is around 23%; and

  • (c) the 120-trading day average closing price and 150-trading day average closing price are relatively stable, and the discount of the Issue Price to the 120-trading day average closing price and 150-trading day average closing price is around 15%.

In view of the above, the significant discount of the Issue Price to the 30-trading day average closing price and the closing price on the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is largely due to the material increase of the Share price between 14 December and 29 December 2017 which the Board was not aware of any reason for such fluctuation. It is reasonable for the parties to make references to the 90-trading day average closing price and 150-trading day average closing price to eliminate the effect of the fluctuation in the Share price.

Reasons that the 1-year and 2-year average of the closing prices of the Share are not applicable

The 1-year and 2-year average of the closing prices of the Share are shown in the table below:

Discount of
the Issue Price
Average to the average

(HKD)
(approximately) (approximately)
1-year 0.31 53.2%
2-year 0.38 61.8%

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The 1-year and 2-year average of the closing prices are not suitable for the determination of the final Issue Price, and that the significant discount of the Issue Price to the 1-year and 2-year average closing prices should not be the references, for the following reasons:

(i) The 1-year average of the closing price of the Share

The Directors are of the view that the average market price of the Share in the first half of 2017 should carry minimal weight in determining the Issue Price as it experienced a significant downward movement from HKD0.64 as at 1 January 2017 to HKD0.233 as at 31 May 2017, representing a decrease of approximately 63.6% during such period. The Directors took the view that the market price of the Share was relatively stable in the second half of 2017, and therefore made reference to the 150-trading day average closing price (which was recorded from 25 May 2017, a date close to the commencement of the second half of 2017). In view of the above, the 1-year average of the closing price of the Share is not considered to be relevant by the Directors.

(ii) The 2-year average of the closing price of the Share

Given that (a) the discussion on the Acquisition between the parties first began in mid-December 2017, and the Sale and Purchase Agreement was signed in late-December 2017; and (b) the reference dates of other indicators, such as the Placing Price, the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2017, the 90-trading day average closing price and the 150-trading day average closing price, are much closer to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Directors consider that the 2-year average of the closing price of the Share (which was recorded since late-December 2015) is relatively remote and thus not an appropriate indicator when determining the Issue Price.

The Group will be benefitted from the Acquisition as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and Benefits of the Acquisition” in this Circular. The Acquisition could proceed as both parties were able to determine an acceptable issue price of the Consideration Shares. Having considered the benefits to be brought by the Acquisition to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Directors believe that the Issue Price determined with references to the factors in the preceding paragraphs is fair and commercially reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Placing

Pursuant to the announcement of the Company dated 11 December 2017 in relation to the Placing, the net proceeds from the Placing (the “ Placing Proceeds ”) were originally intended to be used for as to approximately HKD51 million for repayment of margin loans, as to approximately HKD20 million for property investment, as to approximately HKD60 million for money lending business development of the Group, as to approximately HKD80 million for securities trading and investment of the Group and as to the remaining balance for general working capital.

During the discussions on the preliminary terms of the Acquisition between 12 December and 14 December 2017, the parties explored the feasibility of different manners of settlement of the Consideration, including by cash alone, by mixture of cash and consideration shares or by issuance of consideration shares only. The Vendor accepted the Group to settle the Consideration by issuance of the Consideration Shares. Although the Group could apply the Placing Proceeds together with its internal financial resources to settle the Consideration in full or in part, the Board considered that the sole issuance of Consideration Shares is the best option, as (i) the Group would not have immediate or future cash outflow and could preserve its cash reserve or Placing Proceeds for its business development, investments or loan repayment which can only be settled in cash; and (ii) the Group would be able to use its cash reserves to make timely and appropriate investment(s) or pursue other business opportunities without resorting to other fund-raising activities should any opportunities arise. As a result, the Directors decided not to apply any of the Placing Proceeds to settle the Consideration or for property investment. Based on the aforesaid, the Directors are of the view that the issuance of the Consideration Shares for settling the Consideration is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company had completed the Placing on 2 January 2018 and raised net proceeds of HKD228 million. Upon completion of the Placing, the Board confirmed the final use of the Placing Proceeds by reallocating HKD20 million from property investment, HKD14 million from securities trading and investment, HKD27 million from money lending business development and HKD8 million from general working capital to repaying margin loans due to an independent securities broker (the “ Securities Broker ”). The Board resolved to revise the proposed use of the Placing Proceeds in the following manner:

The Directors take the view that such reallocation of the Placing Proceeds allows the Group to save its interest expenses while providing certain amount of financial resources for developing its securities trading and investment business and money lending business, which represents the best use of the Placing Proceeds to the Company.

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, approximately HKD220.5 million out of the Placing Proceeds (representing approximately 96.7% of the Placing Proceeds) had been utilised. The Board had resolved to revise the proposed use of the Placing Proceeds due to the following reasons:

  • (i) Repayment of margin loans: Golden Horse Hong Kong Investment Limited, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, maintained a margin loan account with the Securities Broker. Pursuant to a margin loan agreement (which was subsequently amended by an amendment and restatement deed), the Securities Broker provided a margin loan facility to the Group up to HKD150 million for a period up to 21 June 2018 on a revolving basis based on the securities margin value on hand from time to time. The Group’s outstanding margin loans repayable to the Securities Broker increased from approximately HKD67.5 million as at 30 June 2017 to approximately HKD150 million as at 31 December 2017. As the interest was accrued on a daily basis and the Group intended to save its interest expenses, the Board resolved to change the original use of the Placing Proceeds to repaying its margin loans to the Securities Broker by allocating HKD120 million of the Placing Proceeds. Such HKD120 million had been utilised by the Group on 5 January 2018.

  • (ii) Property investment: As the Vendor accepted the Group to settle the Consideration by issuance of the Consideration Shares, the Board is of the view that the Placing Proceeds originally allocated to property investment could be reallocated to repayment of margin loans which shall only be settled by cash. Therefore, the Board resolved to change the original use of the Placing Proceeds, such that none of the Placing Proceeds was applied towards property investment.

  • (iii) Securities trading and investment: The Group keeps on identifying its investments based on the share price, the gain potential and the future prospect of the investments. At the relevant time, the Group was still identifying suitable investment opportunities and therefore the Board resolved to change the original use of the Placing Proceeds and reallocate HKD14 million from securities trading and investment to repaying the margin loans to the Securities Broker, thereby saving interest expenses of the Group. The Group may make use of margin loan financing for future acquisition of securities as and when required. The HKD66 million of the Placing Proceeds assigned to securities trading and investment had been utilised by the Group on 5 January 2018.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) Money lending business development: At the relevant time, the Group was still identifying suitable opportunities to further develop its money lending business. The Board therefore resolved to change the original use of the Placing Proceeds and reallocate HKD27 million from money lending business development to repaying the margin loans to the Securities Broker for saving interest expenses of the Group. The HKD33 million of the Placing Proceeds assigned to developing money lending business had been utilised by the Group on 3 January 2018.

  • (v) General working capital: The Board resolved to change the original use of the Placing Proceeds and reallocate HKD8 million from general working capital to repaying the margin loans to the Securities Broker for saving interest expenses of the Group. Out of the HKD9 million of the Placing Proceeds assigned as general working capital, HKD1.5 million had been utilised by the Group in mid-January 2018.

The Board considers that the change of use of the Placing Proceeds will allow the Company to deploy its financial resources more effectively and is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Alternatives in funding the Acquisition

In determining the method of settlement of the Consideration, the Company also considered alternative settlement methods, such as bank borrowings, debt financing and pre-emptive equity financing.

In regard to bank borrowings and debt financing, as the Property is subject to a mortgage, the Board considered that this would result in additional interest burden and higher gearing ratio of the Group, and there was no guarantee that bank loans and/or debt financing could be obtained on terms which were acceptable to and in the best interest of the Group. In regard to pre-emptive equity financing, such as rights issue and open offer, the Board considered this would be more time consuming, incur substantial costs in relation to the engagement of legal adviser, financial adviser and brokerage agent as well as underwriting commission which might in turn cause an adverse impact on the financial condition of the Group. The pre-emptive equity financing would also have a potential dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the existing Shareholders who do not participate in such financing activities.

In light of the above, the Board is of the view that issuance of Consideration Shares represented the best option in funding the Acquisition as this will not cause immediate or future cash outflow, liability or commitment on the part of the Company to settle the Consideration.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Target Company is currently holding the Property located at No. 1, Lincoln Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Property is a trapezium compound with a 3-storey high residential house thereon, with a registered site area of approximately 10,656 sq. ft. and a saleable area of approximately 7,570 sq. ft.. The Property is currently used for domestic purpose. The Property is subject to an outstanding mortgage, particulars of which are set forth in the valuation report on the Property in Appendix V to this circular.

Set out below is the audited financial information of the Target Company:

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the net assets value of the Target Company is approximately HKD217,075,000.

Please refer to the accountant’s report in Appendix II to this circular which sets out the audited financial information on the Target Company.

The Company was informed by the Vendor that the Property had been subject to a mortgage in favour of a bank since May 2015, but there were no relevant bank or other borrowing or contingent liabilities recorded in the books of the Target Company. The said mortgage had already been released before the Vendor acquired the Target Company from the former sole shareholder of the Target Company.

The Company was further informed by the Vendor that the relevant bank account of the Target Company was closed in August 2017 by a former ultimate controlling shareholder of Target Company before the various changes of shareholders and directors of the Target Company. Accordingly, the management of the Target Company was not able to authorise the bank confirmation request from the relevant bank, and the independent report accountant was not able to obtain satisfactory confirmation reply from the bank to confirm the indebtedness of the Target Company as at 1 January 2015, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016, respectively.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company was further informed by the Vendor that the supporting documents for accounting purpose during the period from 1 January 2015 to 17 April 2015 could not be located due to the various changes of shareholders and directors of the Target Company. Accordingly, the independent reporting accountant was not able to obtain satisfactory and adequate underlying supporting evidence for the transactions recorded in the books of the Target Company during the above period (the “ Relevant Transactions ”).

As a result of the above, according to the independent reporting accountant, there were no alternative audit procedures that they could perform to satisfy themselves as to (i) the completeness of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Target Company as at 11 May 2015, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016; and (ii) the occurrence, accuracy, valuation, rights and obligations, existence and completeness of the Relevant Transactions. Accordingly, the independent reporting accountant gave a disclaimer of opinion (the “ Disclaimer Opinion ”) in the accountant’s report on the Target Company as disclosed on page II-2 in Appendix II to this circular.

The Board, having considered the information provided by the Vendor and the above situation as a whole, takes the view that the Disclaimer Opinion is only for the Target Company’s historical financial position and does not affect the Target Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2017. The Board is of the view that the Disclaimer Opinion does not have any effect on the current financial position of Target Company, the Group and the Enlarged Group, and it is fair and reasonable to proceed with the Acquisition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Directors have been proactive in seeking appropriate investment opportunities, including investment in properties in Hong Kong, in order to diversify the scope of business of the Group and to increase the return to the Shareholders.

Potential appreciation in the value of the Property

Although the price of private domestic units in Hong Kong has been increasing substantially, it still reveals a positive outlook. The Directors are optimistic about the future development of the Hong Kong property market, especially for units in the traditional luxurious property districts. The Group understands that the market condition changes from time to time and therefore monitors the property market closely. The Directors had obtained market information from various sources and had considered the following factors when forming such views:

  • (a) the pace of the interest rate hike in the United States was and is expected to be rather modest and steady, with the projection materials of the Federal Reserve of the United States released in mid-December 2017 suggesting a projection outlook for three interest-rate hikes totaling around an increase of 0.75% for the year of 2018, which may not be of considerable resistance to the property market in Hong Kong to rise further;

  • (b) the price index for private domestic units published by the Rating and Valuation Department had been generally rising from 2010 to late 2015 and, despite the slight decrease in early 2016, resumed its upward trend since mid-2016 and continued its strong upward trend in 2017;

  • (c) prices of land sale and private domestic units have continued to break historical records from time to time since early 2017, e.g. the two land sites in Cheung Sha Wan were sold in November 2017 as the most expensive land site ever, breaking the record just set in February 2017, which may suggest that the property market would continue to be robust despite the rising interest rates; and

  • (d) according to the statistics released by the Rating and Valuation Department, the supply of large private domestic units of over 160m[2] was expected to make up of less than 3% of the total units supplied throughout 2017 and the Directors considered that new large units completed in 2017 which would become available in primary and/or secondary markets in 2018 would hence be limited. Also, considering that the above is also consistent with the trend that the supply of large units accounted for less than 6% each year since 2011, this might suggest that the trend of scarce supply of completed large units in Hong Kong would continue.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the above, the Directors believe that there will still be room for appreciation of the Property in the long term, particularly due to the scarce supply of new luxurious properties in Kowloon Tong area and the fact that the luxurious property market is relatively less vulnerable to economic fluctuation.

As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 21 June 2016, the Group disposed its entire equity interest in Sky Eagle Global Limited (“ Disposal ”), which primarily held the property located at No. 2, Lincoln Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, due to uncertainties created in the property market as a result of (i) the then contemplation of increasing interest rate in Hong Kong, which would normally follow the interest rates hike by the Federal Reserve in December 2015 and for the first time since 2009, (ii) as suggested in the 2015 Economic Background and 2016 Prospects published by the Hong Kong government in February 2016, the “deep concerns about global growth prospect” due to uncertain pace of the monetary policy tightening in 2016; (iii) falling property prices in early 2016 as shown by the price index published by the Rating and Valuation Department which raised the concern of a potentially reducing demand and competition on luxury residential properties. In light of the foregoing, the Directors therefore decided to lower the Group’s risk exposure on investments in luxury residential properties by disposing one of its two luxury residential properties, reallocate its resources and rearrange its investment portfolio. After the Disposal and as at 31 December 2016, as compared with 31 December 2015, (i) the property investment portfolio accounted for approximately 46% of the Group’s total investment portfolio, representing a decrease of approximately 50%; (ii) the securities investment portfolio accounted for approximately 52% of the Group’s total investment portfolio, representing an increase of approximately 50%; and (iii) the loan portfolio accounted for 2% of the Group’s total investment portfolio, representing a decrease of approximately 1%.

Since early 2017, new records for prices of land and different kinds of residential properties have been continuously set by private developers from the PRC and Hong Kong as well as other buyers in the property market. The price index for private domestic units with saleable area of 100m[2] or above has been increasing for over 8% in 2017. It also appears that the interest rate hike in the United States, the increasing supply of new residential premises in Hong Kong and the possibility of further property cooling measures imposed by the Hong Kong government did not have any material impact on the property market in Hong Kong. In view of the above, having observed the development of the property market for a period of time, the Directors believe it is a suitable time to review and enrich the investment portfolio of the Group by re-acquiring luxury residential property.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, given that the local bank interest rate remains at a relatively low level, the Board considers that there remains investment opportunities existing in the property market and the Acquisition represents an investment opportunity for the Group to enrich its property investments portfolio.

Receipt of stable rental income

Further, the Group believes that there is sufficient and rigid rental demand for properties in the vicinity of the Property. The Group is aware of the trend in the rental market of luxury residential property in Kowloon Tong as it is holding a luxury residential property located at No. 19, Cumberland Road, Kowloon Tong for rental purpose, and therefore it obtains information regarding the rental market luxury residential property in Kowloon Tong from estate agency from time to time. The market information recently obtained by the Group from estate agency, and the recent monthly rent of the property located at No. 2, Lincoln Road previously owned by the Group, indicate that the monthly rent of house type properties in Kowloon Tong in the vicinity of and comparable to the Property in the aspect of environment in the neighborhood and level of luxury ranges from approximately HKD58 to HKD76 per sq.ft. in terms of saleable area (the “ Indication Rent ”), and therefore the Property will be able to offer rental yield acceptable to the Group. Based on such information, the Directors are of the view that the Group will be benefited from the Acquisition.

On 31 January 2018, the Group was informed by the Vendor that a potential tenant, being an individual, expressed his interest to rent the Property. On 1 February 2018, the Vendor, with the consent from the Group, entered into a tenancy agreement (the “ Tenancy Agreement ”) in respect of the Property with the aforesaid individual at the monthly rent of HKD500,000 (inclusive of government rates, government rents and management fees) for a fixed term of one year commencing from 1 February 2018. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the tenant is an Independent Third Party. The Group gave the aforesaid consent to the Vendor for entering into the Tenancy Agreement as (i) it was the Group’s original intention to lease out the Property after Completion, and the execution of the Tenancy Agreement can secure the rental income of the Group in respect of the Property; and (ii) the monthly rent under the Tenancy Agreement is consistent with the Indication Rent previously obtained by the Group from estate agency.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

No immediate or future cash outflow due to issuance of the Consideration Shares

Further, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Group is not required to settle the Consideration in cash at Completion. Although at the time of entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement the Placing Proceeds had yet been utilised, the Board considered that issuance of Consideration Shares is a better option as this will allow the Group to preserve its cash reserves and provide flexibility for its future business development and investments, whereas the Placing Proceeds originally allocated to the use of property investment could be reallocated to repaying margin loans which shall only be settled by cash. Since there is no immediate or future cash outflow for the Acquisition, the Group is able to use its cash reserves to make timely and appropriate investment(s) or pursue other business opportunities without resorting to other fundraising activities should any opportunities arise. Based on the above, the Board considers that it is an appropriate time to invest in the Property. The Board will from time to time monitor the property investments portfolio of the Group in order to maximise the return to the Shareholders.

Whilst the Company is aware of the dilution impact of the issue of the Consideration Shares to fund the Acquisition, the Company also considers the adverse impacts on the operation of the Group which may result from using bank borrowings, debt financing and pre-emptive equity financing as disclosed on page 21 of this Circular, such as driving up the gearing ratio, creating further financing costs or incurring substantial costs in relation to the engagement of professional parties, etc. In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Chen and Mr. Yu) consider that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the Shareholders in relation to the Acquisition is justifiable, fair and reasonable.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Fair and reasonable valuation

The Group has engaged the Independent Valuer to conduct valuation in respect of the Property and prepared an independent valuation report set forth in Appendix V to this circular. The Company has (i) discussed with the Independent Valuer regarding the valuation methodology used and assumptions adopted in the independent valuation report; (ii) reviewed the underlying calculations of the independent valuation report and the information of the comparables used by the Independent Valuer, such comparables are houses located in the Kowloon Tong neighborhood and the transaction dates were within a couple of months before the valuation date, which are appropriate for comparison; (iii) reviewed the unit price of the Property in terms of saleable area adopted by the Independent Valuer, which did not exceed that of the residential property located at No. 2, Lincoln Road adopted by the then independent valuer when the Group disposed of such property in July 2016; and (iv) assessed the expertise and experience of the signatory of the independent valuation report. Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the valuation of the Property is fair and reasonable and, accordingly, it is not necessary to take into account the difference of the Property valuation between 14 July 2017 (being the date of valuation of the Property conducted by an independent valuer when the Vendor acquired the Property) and 28 December 2017 (being the date of valuation of the Property conducted by the Independent Valuer) in determining the Consideration.

The Directors believe that the Acquisition will provide return and benefits to the Company and the Shareholders in the long run on the following basis: (i) the Acquisition represents a good opportunity for the Group to continue to expand and diversify the Group’s investment portfolio; (ii) the Group can take advantage of the steady trend of appreciation in private domestic units in Hong Kong, the potential of future appreciation in the value of the Property will increase the asset value of the Group; and (iii) the Group will be able to broaden its source of revenue by deriving rental income from the Property, in particular, the Group will receive stable rental income each month during the term of the Tenancy Agreement. Weighing the potential return and benefits of the Acquisition in the long run against the dilution effect, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Chen and Mr. Yu who have abstained from voting at the Board meeting) consider that the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms or better, and are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Company will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Effect on assets and liabilities

According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming that Completion had taken place on 30 June 2017, the total assets would increase by approximately HKD400,109,000 to HKD1,566,354,000. The total liabilities would increase by approximately HKD140,254,000 to approximately HKD383,663,000.

Effect on earnings

Rental income received under the tenancy of the Property will become revenue of the Enlarged Group and it is expected that the rents received net of maintenance costs and other expenses in respect of the Property will be recorded as an additional stream of income and contribute to the future earnings of the Enlarged Group. In addition, the Property will be accounted for as a property held for investment and will be subject to a fair value assessment on an annual basis. The potential appreciation in value of the Property will be recognised and shown in the consolidated financial results of the Enlarged Group.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The Group will continue to focus on the development of, and direct its resources on exploring opportunities in, securities trading and investments, provision of financing services and investment property in Hong Kong, so as to create long-term value for the Shareholders. The Board believes that such core businesses of the Group are able to produce steady income streams given the existing market conditions and the resources available. The Board believes that the business performance of the Group will be further improved.

In respect of securities trading, the Group is optimistic on the economic growth in China and believes that Hong Kong would also be benefited. Therefore, it is expected that the Group will continue to invest in the Hong Kong equity market by enhancing the use of the surplus working capital and will continue to seek attractive investment opportunities with the aim of deriving dividend income and/or gain from trading of listed securities.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In respect of the money lending business, due to the nature of Hong Kong’s loan market, the demand of loan is expected to increase substantially. The Board believes that the money lending business will give the Group an opportunity to obtain a higher return for the fund under the current low interest rate environment and will generate satisfactory revenue for the Group.

Although the property market in Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties underlying the macro environment and the global economy, the Group is still confident about the medium to long-term development of the property market in Hong Kong benefited from the relatively low interest rate of local bank and there remains investment opportunities existing in the market. The Directors considered that the Acquisition represents an investment opportunity to further participate in the Hong Kong property investment market and the future tenancy in relation to the Property may provide stable rental income for the Group while at the same time the Group will be benefited from the long term appreciation of the value in luxurious properties in Hong Kong. It is further noted that pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Group does not need to settle the Consideration in cash at Completion, which will allow the Group to preserve its cash reserves for its future business development.

The Board will continue implementing cost control measures across all its businesses and managing risks exposures to the Group. Furthermore, the Board will monitor the investment property portfolio of the Group and also the market development and will reallocate resources of the Group in order to maximise the return to the Shareholders.

The management will continue to explore business opportunities in e-commerce business, investment in film project, trading business and any other potential business fields to diversify its business portfolio with a view to broaden its income stream which shall be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not yet identified any other business opportunities, and taking into account the Company’s financial status, the Company was not in contemplation of any fund-raising plan(s) for the next 12 months. The Company will comply with the Listing Rules and make announcement(s) as and when appropriate, where the Board has had any potential fund-raising plan, agreement or arrangement in place or where any potential acquisition(s) in relation to such business opportunities are entered into.

APPENDIX II

Reporting accountant’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200, Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the Historical Financial Information.

Disclaimer of opinion

We do not express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on this Historical Financial Information.

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

(a) Scope limitation – bank borrowing and contingent liabilities

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016, the Target Company’s investment property was pledged since 11 May 2015. However, there were no bank or other borrowing or contingent liabilities recorded as at each of these dates. The current management of the Target Company is unable to explain the rationale or reasons for the existence of the pledge as at these dates.

II – 2

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Further, during the course of our audit, we were informed by the management of the Target Company that due to the relevant bank account of the Target Company was closed during the year ended 31 December 2017 before the various changes of shareholder of the Target Company, as well as the changes of director of the Target Company (the “Changes of Management”), the management was unable to authorise the bank confirmation request from the relevant bank (the “Bank”). Accordingly, we were unable to obtain satisfactory confirmation reply from the Bank to confirm the indebtedness of the Target Company as at 1 January 2015, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016. There were no alternative satisfactory audit procedures that we could adopt to satisfy ourselves as to the completeness of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Target Company as at 1 January 2015, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary in respect of the above could have a significant effect on the Target Company’s financial position as at 1 January 2015, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016 and consequently, the Target Company’s financial performance for the years ended 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017, and the related disclosures thereof in the Historical Financial Information.

Our opinion on the Target Company’s statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017 is also disclaimed because of the possible effects of the matter on the comparability of the figures as at and for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016.

(b) Scope limitation – supporting documents for accounting purpose during the period from 1 January 2015 to 17 April 2015 (the “Relevant Period”) (the “Relevant Supporting Documents”)

During the Relevant Period, there were various transactions (collectively, the “Relevant Transactions”) recorded in the books of the Target Company in relation to various elements of the financial statements, including capital expenditures, cash and cash equivalents, prepayments, other receivables, amount due to ultimate controlling party, other payables and administrative expenses.

During the course of our audit, we were informed by the management of the Target Company that due to the Changes of Management as mentioned above, the management of the Target Company is unable to locate the Relevant Supporting Documents, and therefore, unable to provide the Relevant Supporting Documents to us. Accordingly, we were unable to obtain satisfactory and adequate underlying supporting evidence for the Relevant Transactions. Because of the nature of the scope limitation, there were no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to the occurrence, accuracy, valuation, rights and obligations, existence and completeness of the Relevant Transactions. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary in respect of the above would have a significant effect on the Target Company’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2015, and the related disclosures thereof in the Historical Financial Information.

In the opinion of the sole director of the Target Company (the “Target’s Director”), the Target Company’s parent company with effect from 13 September 2017 is Winsey, a company incorporated in BVI with limited liability. In the opinion of the Target’s Director, the Target Company’s ultimate holding company from 1 January 2015 to 17 April 2015 was Bright Sunshine, a company incorporated in BVI with limited liability. In the opinion of the Target’s Director, the Target Company’s ultimate holding party from 17 April 2015 to 17 August 2017 was the then shareholder. In the opinion of the Target’s Director, the Target Company’s ultimate holding company from 17 August 2017 to 13 September 2017 was Dragon Huge, a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. In the opinion of the Target’s Director, the Target Company’s ultimate holding company with effect from 13 September 2017 is China Soft Power Technology Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the Bermuda and whose shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“the Stock Exchange”).

The Underlying Financial Statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”), which is also the functional currency of the Target Company.

2. Basis of preparation

The financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”). The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment property that is measured at fair value.

Going concern

As at 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 the Target Company had net current liabilities of approximately HKD56,637,000, HKD57,594,000 and HKD182,879,000, respectively. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Target Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liability in the normal course of business.

II – 11

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

These Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the financial support of the ultimate holding party, at a level sufficient to finance the working capital requirements of the Target Company. The ultimate holding company has agreed to provide adequate funds for the Target Company to meet its liabilities as they fell due for the foreseeable future. The Target’s Director therefore is of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the Historical Financial Information on a going concern basis. Should the Target Company be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the Historical Financial Information to write down the carrying amounts of the assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in the Historical Financial Information.

3. New and revised HKFRSs

New and revised HKFRSs that are effective during the Relevant Period have been adopted by the Target Company at the respective effective dates. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs has no significant impact on the Target Company’s results and financial positions.

The Target Company has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective, in the Historical Financial Information:

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle[1] Amendments to HKFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-Based Payment Transactions[1] Amendments to HKFRS 4 Apply HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments with HKFRS 4 Insurance Contracts[1] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[1] Amendments to HKFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation[2] HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers[1] Amendments to HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Clarifications to HKFRS 15[1] Amendments to HKAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property[1] HK(IFRIC) – Int 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration[1] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle[2] HKFRS 16 Leases[2] HK(IFRIC) – Int 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments[2] HKFRS 17 Insurance Contract[3] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and HKAS 28 and its Associate or Joint Venture[4]

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021

4 The amendments were originally intended to be effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The effective date has now been deferred/removed. Early application of the amendments of the amendments continue to be permitted.

The Target Company has already commenced an assessment of the related impact of adopting the above new and revised HKFRSs. So far, it has concluded that the above new and revised HKFRSs will be adopted at the respective effective dates and the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company except for the followings:

HKFRS 9 – Financial instruments

HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (the business model test) and that have contractual terms that give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (the contractual cash flow characteristics test) are generally measured at amortised cost. Debt instruments that meet the contractual cash flow characteristics test are measured at FVTOCI if the objective of the entity’s business model is both to hold and collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets. Entities may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to measure equity instruments that are not held for trading at FVTOCI. All other debt and equity instruments are measured at FVTPL.

HKFRS 9 includes a new expected loss impairment model for all financial assets not measured at FVTPL replacing the incurred loss model in HKAS 39 and new general hedge accounting requirements to allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in financial statements.

HKFRS 9 carries forward the recognition, classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities from HKAS 39, except for financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, where the amount of change in fair value attributable to change in credit risk of the liability is recognised in other comprehensive income unless that would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch. In addition, HKFRS 9 retains the requirements in HKAS 39 for derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.

II – 13

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

HKFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

HKFRS 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretation when it becomes effective.

The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance Obligation

Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15. The Target’s Director has assessed the impact of HKFRS 15, and anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 will have no material impact on the Underlying Financial Statements. The Target Company does not expect to adopt the new standard before 1 January 2018.

II – 14

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of measurement

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange of goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value-in-use in HKAS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirely, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

II – 15

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

The principal accounting policies are set out below:

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for rebates and other similar allowances.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Target Company as a lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.

Investment property

Investment property is a property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.

Investment property is initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently to initial recognition, investment property is measured at their fair values. All of the Target Company’s property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are classified and accounted for as investment property and is measured using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from change in the fair value of investment property is included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

II – 16

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use or no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognised of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

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 “profit before income tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of 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 the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

II – 17

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets for investment property that is measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such property is presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Target Company becomes a party to the contracted 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 are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

II – 18

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including deposits and bank balances) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.

II – 19

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or

  • disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For financial assets that are carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables and amounts due from fellow subsidiaries, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade and other receivable and amounts due from fellow subsidiaries are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

II – 20

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in according to the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including other payables and accrual, secured bank borrowings and amount due to ultimate controlling party are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

II – 21

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Derecognition

The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another entity. If the Target Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Target Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Target Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Target Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Target Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

II – 22

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Target Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Target Company will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligations, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Cash and cash equivalents

Bank balances in the statements of financial position comprise cash at bank.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs attributable directly to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which require a substantial period of time to be ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

5. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, the Target’s Director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The followings are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the director has made in the process of applying the Target Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial Information.

Deferred taxation on investment property

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment property that are measured using the fair value model, the Target’s Director has reviewed the Target Company’s investment property portfolios and concluded that the Target Company’s investment property is not held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time. Therefore, in determining the Target Company’s deferred taxation on investment property, the Target’s Director has determined that the presumption that the carrying amounts of investment property measured using the fair value model is recovered entirely through sale is not rebutted. The Target Company has not recognised any deferred taxes on changes in fair value of investment property as the Target Company is not subject to any income taxes on the fair value changes of the investment property on disposal.

II – 25

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Going concern and liquidity

As explained in Note 2, there are conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The assessment of the going concern assumptions involves making judgement by the Target’s Director, at a particular point of time, about the future outcome of events or conditions which are inherently uncertain. The Target’s Director consider that the Target Company has ability to continue as a going concern and the major going concern assumptions are set out in Note 2.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following is the key assumption concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Fair value of investment property

At the end of each reporting period, investment property is stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by an independent firm of qualified professional valuers. In determining the fair value, the valuer has based on a method of valuation which involves certain estimates of market conditions. In relying on the valuation reports, the Target’s Director has exercised his judgement and is satisfied that the assumptions used in valuation have reflected the current market conditions. Changes to these assumptions would result in changes in the fair values of the Target Company’s investment property being recognised in the profit or loss. The carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value was approximately HKD320,000,000, HKD340,000,000 and HKD400,000,000 at 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively.

6. Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Target Company that is engaged in business activities from which the Target Company may earn revenue and incur expenses, and is defined on the basis of the internal management reporting information that is provided to and regularly reviewed by the Target’s Director in order to allocate resources and assess performance of the segment. For the Relevant Period, the Target’s Director has determined that the Target company has only one operating segment as the Target Company is principally engaged in property investment.

The Target Company’s property interests held under operating lease to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes is measured using the fair value model and is classified and accounted for as investment property.

At 31 December 2017, the Target Company’s investment property, with carrying amount of HKD400,000,000 has been pledged to secure the bank borrowings granted to the Target Company (Note 13).

Fair value measurement of investment property

The fair value of the Target Company’s investment property at 31 December 2017 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by S.K. Pang Surveyors & Co. Ltd. (“S.K.Pang”) (2016 and 2015: Roma Appraisals Limited (“Roma”). S.K. Pang and Roma are independent qualified professional valuers, which are not connected with the Target Company, and have appropriate qualifications and recent experiences in the valuation of similar properties in the relevant locations.

The fair values of investment property is a level 3 fair value measurement. The reconciliation of the opening and closing fair value balance is shown as above.

II – 29

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

The fair values of investment property were estimated using market comparison approach. Fair values are based on prices for recent market transaction in similar properties with significant adjustments for differences in the location or condition of the Target Company’s investment property. These adjustments are based on unobservable inputs.

There has been no change from the valuation technique used during the Relevant Period.

The fair value measurements are based on the investment property’s highest and best use, which does not differ from the actual use.

During the Relevant Period, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 or any other level. The Target Company’s policy is to recognise transfer between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

18. Financial risk management objective and policies

The Target Company’s major financial instruments include deposits, bank balances, other payables and accrual, bank borrowings and amount due to ultimate controlling party. The risks associated with these financial instruments include credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a transaction is unwilling or unable to fulfill its obligation with the results that the Target Company thereby suffers financial loss.

The Target Company’s principal financial assets are deposits and bank balances which represent the Target Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.

II – 34

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

In order to minimise the credit risk, the Target’s Director reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the Target’s Director considers that the Target Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid fund is limited because the counterparty is a bank with high credit rating assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Interest rate risk

The Target Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances and borrowings as detailed in Note 13. The Target Company’s exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. The Target Company’s bank balances are short-term in nature and the exposure of the interest rate is minimal and thus no sensitivity analysis is presented for.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for variable-rate bank borrowings at the end of each reporting period. The analysis is prepared assuming these borrowings outstanding at the end of reporting period were outstanding for whole year. A 100 basis points increase or decrease in HIBOR and Prime rate is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest for the year. No sensitivity has been performed for the year ended 31 December 2015 and 2016 as there were no floating-rate borrowings as of that date.

APPENDIX II

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Target’s Director monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Target Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

At 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Target Company has net current liabilities of approximately HKD56,637,000, HKD57,594,000 and HKD182,879,000, respectively. The Target Company is exposed to liquidity risk if it is not able to raise sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations. The Target Company relies on the financial support provided by the ultimate controlling party which has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and undertaking of the ultimate controlling party not to demand for repayment of debts due from the Target Company until such time when repayment will not affect the ability of the Target Company to repay other creditors in the normal course of business.

The following table details the Target Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Target Company can be required to pay.

Notes:

1. Basis of preparation

This Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 29(7) of Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules and based upon: (i) the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of 30 June 2017, which has been extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2017 dated 30 August 2017; and (ii) the statement of financial position of the Target Company as of 31 December 2017, which has been extracted from the accountant’s report on the Target Company included in Appendix II to this circular; and adjusted in accordance with the pro forma adjustments described in note 2b below, as if the Acquisition had been completed on 30 June 2017.

  • (a) The adjustment represents the acquisition of the entire equity interest in the Target Company.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, the Group has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of the Target Company for an aggregate consideration amounting to HKD260,000,000. which is to be satisfied by the allotment and issue of the consideration shares of 1,793,103,448 shares of HKD0.001 each at an issue price of HKD0.145 per share (the “Consideration Share(s)”).

For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair values of the Consideration Shares are assumed to be issued at the date of completion. For consideration based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Target Company as at 31 December 2017, which are assumed amount to be approximately HKD260,795,000 in aggregate. The liabilities of the Target Company as at 31 December 2017 represented by amounts due to its ultimate controlling party of HKD43,674,000 are excluded from the assets and liabilities of Target Company acquired. Accordingly, the amount of reserve of approximately HKD259,002,000 was the difference between the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the par value of Consideration Shares on 30 June 2017.

Upon the completion of the Transaction, the Target Company would become an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company.

  • (b) The amount represents the estimate amounts for legal and professional fee and other expenses payable by the Group related to the Acquisition.

OPINION

Limitation of Scope

Balance of the amount due to Able Success Asia Limited (“Able Success”)

As at 30 June 2017, included in other payables was a balance of approximately HKD15,264,000 being amount due to the former holding company, Able Success, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability the entire issued share capital of which is beneficially owned by Mr. He Jianhong (“Mr. He”). Mr. He’s position as the chairman and executive director of the Company was suspended with effect from 27 January 2014 and was removed with effect from 10 October 2014. During our engagement to audit the consolidated financial statement of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016, we disclaimed our audit opinion on those consolidated financial statement because, inter alia, we were unable to verify the balance with Able Success as at 31 December 2016 and there were no other alternative supporting evidence to satisfy ourselves as to whether the balance of the amount due to Able Success as at 31 December 2016 was factually supportable. Our auditor’s report is included in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2016 dated 31 March 2017.

The matter described above remain unresolved as at the date of this report. Any adjustment to be necessary would have a consequential effect on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, its financial performance as at 31 December 2016.

Dear Sirs,

We refer to your instructions to value The Property for a proposed acquisition by Future World Financial Holdings Limited and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “ the Group ”), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries, searches and obtained such further information as we considered necessary for the purpose of providing our opinion of the current market value of The Property for the purpose of inclusion in a Circular to be issued by the Group.

1. BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation is made on the basis of Market Value which is defined by the International Valuation Standards and followed by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) as “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”.

V – 1

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX V

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

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells The Property on the open market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of The Property. Furthermore, no account has been taken of an option or right of pre-emption that would affect the sale of The Property and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.

2. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The Property has been valued by the direct comparison method by making reference to comparable market transactions as reported in the market at similar location. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location have been carefully studied and analysed in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital value. No other methods have been considered because comparison method is the best one for this case.

3. ENCUMBRANCES

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on The Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Despite the fact that the Property is subject to an outstanding mortgage as disclosed on page V-6 in this circular, in assessing the market value of the Property, it is assumed that the interest of The Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect its value, as any transaction costs or encumbrances such as mortgage, debenture or other charges against it should be disregarded as required under paragraph 2.0(6) the Valuation Standard 3 (VS3) of the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) page 26.

4. SOURCE OF INFORMATION

We have caused searches to be made at the relevant Land Registry. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any lease amendments. We shall not assume any responsibility for matter legal in nature, nor do we given any opinion as to the title which is assumed to be good, transferable and marketable.

We have taken reasonable steps and our best effort to verify all data, information and sources of information being relied upon in the preparation of the valuation, including matters such as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupancy, lettings, floor areas and all other relevant matters. All information, documents and leases have been used as reference only.

Readily apparent defects or items of disrepair, if any, noted during the course of our inspection will be reflected in the valuation.

  • note 3: Developable GFA = Site Area x Plot Ratio permissible under the relevant outline zoning plan. The Plot Ratio is 0.6 in this neighbourhood.

note 4: AV = Accommodation Value which is equivalent to the transaction price divided by the developable GFA.

  1. The Property is a land with a house thereon, therefore, apartment flats are not considered appropriate for comparison purpose. The collected comparables are also houses in the same neighborhood, they are appropriate for comparison although some are estate type i.e. different category.

  2. Those estate type houses share common driveway, communal recreational facilities and are subject to the Deed of Mutual Covenant and house rules of the estate, whilst plot with a free standing house thereon like the Property is free from this hassle. Some estate houses are in a mixture of medium rise apartments and are overlooked by the latter. Privacy is definitely inferior.

Environment is also an important factor, therefore, closeness to a busy traffic street/road is certainly less desirable for any type of houses. Provision of sufficient car parking space is also a main concern because prospective purchasers for house type property are more car prone. Those collected comparables are all a couple of months well before the valuation date but the Territory Wide Private Domestic Price Indices prepared by the Rating & Valuation Department showed a continuing upward price movement in each month of 2017. Supply of decent size plot at a desirable environment in the neighborhood like the Property is limited whilst the demand has remained strong. All these factors have been duly taken into account in the adjustment between the comparables and the Property.

The Property is a residential plot with a detached house thereon, with sufficient provision of car park inside the compound, and is at Lincoln Road where the environment is better, whilst most listed comparables are estate type (some are even terraced houses) with limited car park provision, and are close to busy traffic street/road. Having taken these into account together with the dearth in the supply of quality, large residential plots and houses in the neighbourood, the current market condition and price movement, we consider that a price tag at HKD400,000,000 for The Property i.e. land and the building thereon equivalent to about an unit rate of about HKD52,840 per sq.ft. on saleable area basis is fair and reasonable and is within a normal market price range of similar properties in the relevant neighbourhood.
