G-RESOURCES GROUP LIMITED 國 際 資 源 集 團 有 限 公 司[*]

(incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 1051)

RIGHTS ISSUE OF 7,568,593,180 RIGHTS SHARES ON THE BASIS OF TWO RIGHTS SHARES FOR EVERY FIVE EXISTING SHARES HELD ON THE RECORD DATE AT HK$0.16 PER RIGHTS SHARE

Underwriter

The latest time for acceptance of and payment for the Rights Shares is 4:00 p.m. on 26 September 2013. The procedure for acceptance and transfer of the Rights Shares is set out on pages 17 to 21 of this Prospectus.

The Underwriting Agreement in respect of the Rights Issue contains provisions entitling the Underwriter by giving notice to the Company to terminate the obligations of the Underwriter thereunder on the occurrence of certain events including force majeure. These events are set out in the section headed ‘‘Termination of Underwriting Agreement’’ on pages 8 to 10 of this Prospectus. If the Underwriting Agreement does not become unconditional or is terminated, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

It should also be noted that the Shares have been dealt in on an ex-rights basis from 3 September 2013 and that dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form will take place from 13 September 2013 to 23 September 2013 (both days inclusive). Any dealings in the Shares from now up to the date on which all conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are required to be fulfilled or waived (which is expected to be 3 October 2013), or any dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form between 13 September 2013 to 23 September 2013 (both days inclusive) are accordingly subject to the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors in the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the Shares or the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN SHARES AND RIGHTS SHARES

Underwriting Arrangements — 2. Conditions of the Underwriting Agreement’’ in the Letter from the Board as contained in this Prospectus. The obligation of the Underwriter to underwrite the Rights Issue is also conditional on (i) the satisfaction (or, where applicable, waiver) of, among other things, the conditions referred to in the section headed ‘‘II. The Rights Issue — C. Underwriting Arrangements — 2. Conditions of the Underwriting Agreement’’ in the Letter from the Board as contained in this Prospectus, and (ii) the Underwriting Agreement not being terminated by the Underwriter in accordance with its terms. If the conditions are not fulfilled (or, where applicable, waived) or the Underwriting Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

The Shares have been dealt in on an ex-rights basis from 3 September 2013. Dealings in the Rights Shares in the nil-paid form will take place from 13 September 2013 to 23 September 2013 (both days inclusive).

Any Shareholder or other person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares or the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form and who is in any doubt about his position, is recommended to consult his professional adviser. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are fulfilled or, where applicable, waived (and the date on which the Underwriter’s right of termination of the Underwriting Agreement ceases) and any person dealing in the nil-paid Rights Shares during the period from 13 September 2013 to 23 September 2013 (both days inclusive) will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed. If in any doubt, Shareholders and potential investors are recommended to consult their professional advisers. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution in dealing in the securities of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Qualified Shareholders

The Rights Issue Documents are being sent to the Qualified Shareholders. For Excluded Shareholders, except those known by the Company to be resident in the United States, the Company will, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permitted, send this Prospectus to them for their information purposes only, but the Company will not send any PALs and Excess Application Forms to them.

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date and not be an Excluded Shareholder.

Qualified Shareholders who take up their pro rata entitlement in full will not suffer any dilution to their interests in the Company. If a Qualified Shareholder does not take up any of its/his/her entitlement under the Rights Issue, its/his/her proportionate shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

B. Terms of the Rights Issue

1. Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.16 per Rights Share is payable in full by a Qualified Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares or, where applicable, upon application for excess Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares subscribes for Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 50% to the closing price of HK$0.32 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Announcement;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 41.7% to the theoretical ex-rights price of HK$0.27 per Share, which is calculated on the basis of the closing price of HK$0.32 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Announcement;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 46.1% to the average of the closing prices per Share for the five trading days ended on the date of the Announcement of approximately HK$0.30;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 46.0% to the average of the closing prices per Share for the ten trading days ended on the date of the Announcement of approximately HK$0.30; and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 55.7% to the unaudited consolidated net tangible asset value attributable to equity holders of the Company per Share as at 31 December 2012 of approximately HK$0.36 (based on 18,921,482,950 Shares in issue as at the Last Practicable Date).

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the then market environment and the prevailing Share prices. Each Qualified Shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same Subscription Price in proportion to its/his/her shareholding held on the Record Date.

After taking into consideration the reasons for the Rights Issue as stated in the section headed ‘‘— E. Reasons for and Benefits of the Rights Issue and Use of Proceeds’’ below, and having regard to (i) the trading prices of the Shares on the secondary markets and (ii) the desired proceeds to the Company from the Rights Issue, the Directors consider the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price (and the discounts to the relative values as indicated above) and in the context of the Company’s long-term business strategy, to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, facilitating a rights offering which is accessible to all shareholders of the Company.

2. Basis of Provisional Allotments

The basis of the provisional allotment shall be two Rights Shares for every five Existing Shares held on the Record Date, being 7,568,593,180 Rights Shares at a price of HK$0.16 per Rights Share. Application for all or any part of a Qualified Shareholder’s provisional allotment should be made by completing the PAL and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for. No odd-lot matching services will be provided.

3. Share Certificates and Refund Cheques for the Rights Issue

Subject to the fulfillment or, where applicable, waiver of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted on 7 October 2013 to those who have accepted and (where applicable) applied for, and paid for, the Rights Shares by ordinary post at their own risk. Refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for excess Rights Shares (if any) are expected to be posted on 7 October 2013 by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

4. Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue such that holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions, the record dates of which are on or after the date of allotment of the Rights Shares.

5. Fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares

The entitlements of the Qualified Shareholders will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Fractional entitlements for the nil-paid Rights Shares will not be issued but will be aggregated (rounded down to the nearest whole number) and sold, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, for the benefit of the Company. Any unsold

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

aggregate of fractions of nil-paid Rights Shares will be made available for excess application under the Excess Application Forms. See section headed ‘‘II. The Rights Issue — B. Terms of the Rights Issue — 8. Application for excess Rights Shares’’ below.

6. Excluded Shareholders

The Rights Issue Documents will not be registered under applicable securities law of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Shareholders who reside outside of Hong Kong may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue as explained below.

The Board has made enquiries regarding the legal restrictions under the applicable securities legislation of the Specified Territories and the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges with respect to the offer of the Rights Shares to the Shareholders in those territories. Having considered the circumstances, the Directors have formed the view that, subject to certain limited exceptions as described below, it is necessary or expedient to restrict the ability of Shareholders in the Specified Territories to take up their rights under the Rights Issue due to the time and costs involved in the registration or filing of this Prospectus and/or approval required by the relevant authorities in those territories and/or additional steps the Company and Shareholders need to take to comply with the local legal requirements and/or other requirements to be satisfied in order to comply with relevant local legal or regulatory requirements in those territories.

Accordingly, for the purposes of the Rights Issue, the Excluded Shareholders are:

  • (a) Shareholders whose names appeared in the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date but whose addresses as shown on such register are in any of the Specified Territories, except for those Shareholders who fulfil, to the satisfaction of the Company, the relevant requirements specified under ‘‘— Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares to subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue’’ below; and

  • (b) Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders who are otherwise known by the Company to be resident in any jurisdiction(s) outside Hong Kong, except for those Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders who fulfil, to the satisfaction of the Company, the relevant requirements specified under ‘‘— Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares to subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue’’ below.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Prospectus or the PAL or the Excess Application Form, the Company reserves the right to permit any Shareholder to take up his/her/its rights if the Company, in its absolute discretion, is satisfied that the transaction in question is exempt from or not subject to the legislation or regulations giving rise to the restrictions in question.

Receipt of this Prospectus and/or a PAL and/or an Excess Application Form or the crediting of nil-paid Rights Shares to a stock account in CCASS does not and will not constitute an offer, invitation or recommendation to subscribe for or purchase any

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

securities in those jurisdictions in which it would be illegal to make an offer, invitation or recommendation for such securities and, in those circumstances, this Prospectus and/or a PAL and/or an Excess Application Form must be treated as sent for information only, and neither this Prospectus nor anything in it shall form the basis of any such contract or commitment and none of them should be copied or redistributed. Persons (including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) who receive a copy of this Prospectus and/or a PAL and/or an Excess Application Form or whose stock account in CCASS is credited with nil-paid Rights Shares should not, in connection with the Rights Issue, distribute or send the same in, into or from, or transfer nil-paid Rights Shares to any person in, into or from, any of the Specified Territories. If a PAL or an Excess Application Form or a credit of nil-paid Rights Shares in CCASS is received by any person in any such territory, or by his/her/its agent or nominee, he/she/it should not seek to take up the rights referred to in the PAL or transfer the PAL (or apply for any excess Rights Shares under the Excess Application Form) or transfer the nil-paid Rights Shares in CCASS unless the Company determines that such actions would not violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any person (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees) who does forward this Prospectus or a PAL or an Excess Application Form in, into or from any Specified Territory (whether under a contractual or legal obligation or otherwise) should draw the recipient’s attention to the contents of this section.

With respect to Excluded Shareholders who hold interests in Shares through CCASS, their nominees, custodians or other intermediaries may sell, on such Excluded Shareholders’ behalf, their entitlements to the nil-paid Rights Shares in compliance with the ‘‘General Rules of CCASS’’ and the ‘‘CCASS Operational Procedures’’ in effect from time to time and applicable securities laws and distribute the proceeds thereof as appropriate.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders, to be sold in the market in their nilpaid form as soon as practicable after the commencement of the dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares, at such premium in excess of the expenses of sale as may reasonably be obtained. The net proceeds of such sale (if any), less expenses of sale, will be divided on a pro rata basis to the Excluded Shareholders, provided that the Company will pay individual amounts of more than HK$100 to the relevant Excluded Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars and will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for its own benefit.

Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares to subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue

Notwithstanding what is said above in this section headed ‘‘— 6. Excluded Shareholders’’, the following limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories may be able to take up their rights under the Rights Issue:

  • . Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders within the United States are generally Excluded Shareholders, except for a limited number of Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders in the United States who the Company reasonably

believes are QIBs who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares to subscribe for Rights Shares being offered in the Rights Issue in transactions conducted in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act, provided that they fulfil relevant requirements to the satisfaction of the Company, including confirming to the Company in writing that they satisfy the requirements to be a QIB and stating in writing to the Company their intentions in subscribing for the Rights Shares.

7. Procedures for Acceptance or Transfer

General

Any person (including, without limitation, agents, nominees and trustees) wishing to take up his/her/its rights under the Rights Issue must satisfy himself/ herself/itself as to full observance of the applicable laws of any relevant territory including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requisite formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories. The attention of Shareholders with registered addresses in any of the Specified Territories or holding Shares on behalf of persons with such addresses is drawn to the section above headed ‘‘— 6. Excluded Shareholders — Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares to subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue’’.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither HKSCC nor HKSCC Nominees Limited is subject to any of the representations and warranties below.

Each subscriber (including, without limitation, agents, nominees and trustees) of Rights Shares being offered and sold outside the United States will be deemed (by accepting delivery of this Prospectus) to have given each of the following representations and warranties to the Company and the Underwriter and to any person acting on their behalf, unless in their sole discretion the Company and the Underwriter waive such requirement:

Process for Acceptance

A PAL is enclosed with this Prospectus which entitles the Qualified Shareholders to whom it is addressed to subscribe for the number of Rights Shares shown therein. If a Qualified Shareholder wishes to accept all the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to him/her/it as specified in the PAL, he/she/it must lodge the PAL in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, together with a remittance for the full amount payable on acceptance, with Union Registrars Limited, as Registrar for the Rights Issue, at 18/F., Fook Lee Commercial Centre, Town Place, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong by 4:00 p.m. on 26 September 2013. All remittances must be made in Hong Kong dollars and cheques must be drawn on a bank account with, or cashier orders must be issued by, a licensed bank in Hong Kong and made payable to ‘‘G-RESOURCES GROUP LIMITED — RIGHTS ISSUE ACCOUNT’’ and crossed ‘‘Account ’’ Payee Only .

It should be noted that unless the enclosed PAL, together with the appropriate remittance, has been lodged with the Registrar at the Registrar’s Office by 4:00 p.m. on 26 September 2013, whether by the original allottee or any person in whose favour the rights have been validly transferred, that provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled.

All cheques or cashier orders for the Rights Shares will be presented for payment immediately upon receipt and all interest earned on such monies will be retained for the benefit of the Company. Any PAL in respect of which the cheque or cashier order is dishonoured on first presentation is liable to be rejected, and in that event the provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled.

If the Underwriter exercises its rights to terminate the Underwriting Agreement or if any of the conditions of the Rights Issue is not fulfilled or, where applicable, waived on or before the time and date as specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the monies received in respect of acceptances of the Rights Shares will be refunded

to the applicants without interest by means of cheque(s) to be dispatched by ordinary post to such applicants on or before 7 October 2013 at their own risk to their registered address.

Splitting of Nil-paid Rights Shares

If a Qualified Shareholder wishes to accept only part of his/her/its provisional allotment or transfer a part of his/her/its rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to him/her/it under the PAL or to transfer all or part of his/her/ its rights to more than one person, the original PAL must be surrendered and lodged for cancellation by 4:30 p.m. on 17 September 2013 with the Registrar at the Registrar’s Office, who will cancel the original PAL and issue new PALs in the denominations required which will be available for collection from the Registrar at the Registrar’s Office after 9:00 a.m. on the second Business Day after the surrender of the original PAL. The PAL contains further information regarding the procedures to be followed for acceptance and/or transfer of the whole or part of the provisional allotment of the Rights Shares by the Qualified Shareholders.

8. Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualified Shareholders may, by way of excess application, apply for any unsold entitlements of the Excluded Shareholders, any nil-paid Rights Shares provisionally allotted to the Qualified Shareholders but not accepted and any unsold Rights Shares created by aggregating fractions of nil-paid Rights Shares.

If a Qualified Shareholder wishes to apply for any Rights Shares in addition to his/ her/its provisional allotment, he/she/it must complete, sign and lodge the Excess Application Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, together with a remittance for the full amount payable on application in respect of the excess Rights Shares applied for, with the Registrar at the Registrar’s Office, by 4:00 p.m. on 26 September 2013. All remittances must be made in Hong Kong dollars and cheques must be drawn on a bank account with, or cashier orders must be issued by, a licensed bank in Hong Kong and made payable to ‘‘G-RESOURCES GROUP LIMITED — EXCESS APPLICATION ACCOUNT’’ and crossed ‘‘Account Payee Only’’. The Board will allocate the excess Rights Shares at its discretion on a fair and equitable basis, and on the following principles:

  • (1) preference will be given to applications for less than a board lot of Rights Shares where they appear to the Board that such applications are made to top up odd-lot holdings to board-lot holdings (unless the total number of excess Rights Shares is not sufficient to top up all odd-lots into whole board-lots) and that such applications are not made with the intention to abuse this mechanism; and

10. Application for listing of the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange

Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares, in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms. The Rights Shares do not constitute a new class of securities to be listed on the Stock Exchange. No part of the share capital of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange, nor is listing of or permission to deal in the share capital or any part of the share capital of the Company being or is proposed to be sought on any other stock exchange.

Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fullypaid forms will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Shareholders should seek advice from their licensed securities dealer or other professional adviser for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

Nil-paid Rights Shares are expected to be traded in board lots of 3,000 Shares (as the Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lots of 3,000 Shares). Dealings in the nil-paid and fully-paid Rights Shares will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fees, SFC transaction levy and any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

The principal activities of the Group are investment holding, exploration and mining of gold and other minerals and securities investment.

Reference is made to (i) the annual report of the financial year ended on 30 June 2012 of the Group released on 30 October 2012, (ii) the interim financial report of the Group for the six months ended on 31 December 2012 and (iii) the Positive Profit Alert of the Company dated 28 August 2013.

The Martabe Mine produced first gold on 24 July 2012 and in the remainder of 2012, a total of 47,858 oz of gold and 218,361 oz of silver were produced. July 2012 through the remainder of 2012 were the early commissioning and ramp up months, and during those period the operations had been shut down for a period of six weeks to address some community concerns relating to discharge of clean water into the local Batangtoru river. In December 2012, the process plant achieved 80% of design tonnage throughput and in excess of 100% of gold output. The head grade of gold in ore delivered to the mill was on plan at 2.35 grammes per tonne, whilst recoveries of gold at over 90% was well in excess of plan. By the end of December 2012, all construction works had been completed with all construction crews demobilized. The only remaining work at the end of the year 2012 was the connection to the high voltage power grid which is anticipated to be completed in 2013.

For the six-months ended 30 June 2013, the Company sold 131,004 oz of gold and 582,635 oz of silver and received approximately US$216 million sales proceeds. The Company has repaid in the six months US$25 million on the revolving credit facility and US$50 million was outstanding at the end of June 2013. The Company had approximately US$59.7 million in cash and marketable securities at the end of June 2013.

Between April and June 2013, gold prices dropped from around US$1,580 per oz to approximately US$1,192 per oz and silver prices fell from approximately US$27 per oz to US$19 per oz. These fall in price prompted many miners to review and cut their gold production, operating costs, capital expenditure and exploration expenditure.

On 28 August 2013, the Company announced a positive profit alert. The management of the Company advised that based on the preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 and information currently available, it is expected that the Group will record its first annual net profit (as compared to the losses made by the Group in the previous years) since the Group’s acquisition of the Martabe Mine in 2009. As disclosed in the Company’s announcements headed ‘‘GResources — Martabe Mine Quarterly Update’’ dated 25 April 2013 and 30 July 2013,

The information contained in the Positive Profit Alert on 28 August 2013 is only a preliminary assessment by the Board based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts for the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, which have not been reviewed or audited by the Company’s auditors.

The Martabe Mine has operated for over a year and with the benefit of that experience along with a recent review of operational efficiency opportunities, the Company announced on 30 July 2013 an increase in forecast gold production for the calendar year 2013. The same was revised upwards from 250,000 oz to 280,000 oz. Silver production was increasing after lower production earlier in the year and forecast was revised to 1.7 million oz for the calendar year, down from 2.2 million oz. The Company will continue to take stringent cost control measures and closely monitor changes in the operating environment. Also, the management will continue to seek operational improvements in costs and production and optimise its resources to enhance and create value to Shareholders.

B. INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following is the text of a letter dated 11 September 2013, prepared for the sole purpose of inclusion in this Prospectus, received from the Company’s independent reporting accountant, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

TO THE DIRECTORS OF G-RESOURCES GROUP LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of G-Resources Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) by the directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 31 December 2012 and related notes as set out on pages II-1 and II-2 in Appendix II to the prospectus issued by the Company dated 11 September 2013 (the ‘‘Prospectus’’). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described on pages II-1 and II-2 in Appendix II to this Prospectus.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the rights issue of 7,568,593,180 rights shares at the subscription price of HK$0.16 per rights share on the basis of two rights shares for every five existing shares held (the ‘‘Rights Issue’’), on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2012 as if the Rights Issue had taken place at 31 December 2012. As part of this process, information about the Group’s consolidated net tangible assets attributable to the owners of the Company has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2012, on which a review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Pro Forma Financial Information

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

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

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

– II-3 –

PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ADJUSTED CONSOLIDATED NET TANGIBLE ASSETS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

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

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

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in the Prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 31 December 2012 would have been as presented.

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

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

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

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

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

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