Based on the information provided by the Seller, the Seller has not incurred any acquisition cost for the Target Company, save for those relating to tax, agency fee and costs for the establishment of the Target Company (such as registration fees) in the aggregate sum of less than RMB2,000.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The core business activity of the Group is property development and property investment in the PRC. It currently holds a total of nine land development projects in the different locations across the country such as Changchun, Changsha, Chaoshan, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Weinan and Yunfu.

The Company has completed its review of business activities/operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the future development of the Group. The Company is of the view that it should act together with the controlling Shareholders to explore and participate in viable projects in major metropolitan centres and districts in the PRC to acquire and invest in assets or cooperate with business partners of the controlling Shareholders with a view of enhancing the Group’s business growth and asset base as well as broadening its income stream.

As the Target Group indirectly holds interests in two development projects in Nanning city of Guangxi Province, the Group can, through the Acquisition, establish its first project base in Nanning, the provincial city of Guangxi Province. When deciding to establish its presence in Nanning and invest in the development projects, the Directors have taken into account the fact that: (a) Nanning has a strategic location as the provincial city of Guangxi, an important gateway to Southeast Asia, a core city of the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone and one of

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the cities participating in the Belt and Road Initiative; (b) the development projects are situated in Wuxiang District, a new development district and new urban area, and a new hot spot for Nanning’s economic development; and (c) the Group can utilise the existing management team and other available resources of the Target Group to tap into the property market in Nanning and the neighbouring cities. Furthermore, both of the aforesaid development projects are in relatively mature stage where the Group can expect to attain revenue and profits in foreseeable future.

On the above basis, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition will enable the Group to expand and diversify its property portfolio and further develop its property development business in the PRC. Accordingly, the Board believes that its long-term business strategy could be substantiated and realised through the Acquisition, and that the business synergies created between the Company and its controlling shareholder would allow the Group to stand in a good position.

The Target Company was established by the Seller on 25 March 2019 and has since then been wholly owned by the Seller.

Guangxi Baohui was established by the Seller on 4 May 2014. After the increase in registered capital of Guangxi Baohui in April 2016, the Seller only held 51% equity interest in Guangxi Baohui and 深圳市寶能房地產顧問有限公司 (Shenzhen Baoneng Real Estate Consultancy Limited[#] ), another company in the Seller Group, held the remaining 49% equity interest. On 17 April 2019, the Seller acquired such remaining interest in Guangxi Baohui for a consideration of RMB98 million and became the sole owner of Guangxi Baohui. On 23 April 2019, the Seller transferred the entire interest of Guangxi Baohui to the Target Company for a consideration of RMB810 million. Guangxi Shengze was established by Shenzhen Baoneng Investments and 深圳寶源物流 有限公司 (Shenzhen Baoyuan Logistics Limited[#] ) (‘‘Baoyuan Logistics’’) on 16 July 2013. Each of Shenzhen Baoneng Investments and Baoyuan Logistics is a company indirectly wholly-owned by Mr. Yao Zhenhua. On 25 December 2018, the Seller acquired the entire interest of Guangxi Shengze from Shenzhen Baoneng Investment and Baoyuan Logistics for a total consideration of RMB150 million. On 17 April 2019, the Seller has transferred the entire interest of Guangxi Shengze to 創邦集團有限公司 (Chuangbong Group Limited[#] ) (‘‘Chuangbong Group’’), a company indirectly wholly owned by Mr. Yao and of which Mr. Yao is a director, at RMB150 million. On 23 April 2019, Chuangbong Group transferred the entire equity interest in Guangxi Shengze to the Target Company at the same consideration of RMB150 million. On 14 August 2019, Guangxi Shengze disposed of the entire equity interest in three subsidiaries, namely 桂林市寶能房地產開發有限公司 (Guilin Baoneng Real Estate Development Limited[#] ), 廣西寶能房地產開發有限公司 (Guangxi Baoneng Real Estate Development Limited[#] ), and 桂林市寶能投資有限公司 (Guilin Baoneng Investment Limited[#] ), to the Seller at a total consideration of RMB30 million. After the disposal, Guangxi Shengze does not have any subsidiary.

Unaudited financial information

The unaudited net profit before and after tax of Guangxi Shengze and Guangxi Baohui for each of the two financial years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 which are prepared on a basis consistent with the PRC accounting standards are set out below:

Note: The Target Company was incorporated on 25 March 2019. The financial information for each of the two financial years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 represent the financial information of Guangxi Shengze and Guangxi Baohui without being consolidated under the Target Company.

The unaudited consolidated total assets and consolidated net liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2019 was approximately RMB5,334,077,000 and RMB171,223,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$5,920,825,500 and HK$190,058,000) respectively.

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors noted the net liabilities position of the Target Group. Nonetheless, they do not consider it as an adverse financial position of the Target Group because:

  • (a) based on the unaudited management accounts of Guangxi Shengze and of the Target Group, the proceeds of pre-sale contributed to around 70% of all liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2019. As a property developer, the Target Group can only recognise the sales of properties as revenue when delivering the vacant possession of the completed property units and car parking spaces to the purchasers and all proceeds of pre-sale can only be recognised as liabilities before the delivery of vacant possession pursuant to requirements under accounting standards;

  • (b) the high net liability position of the Target Group does not mean that the Target Group has liquidity issue or an unsustainable level of debt. To the contrary, the funds prepaid by the purchaser for the purchase of the properties are positive cash inflow in the operating activity of the Target Group and the Target Group can utilise the funds to support the development projects and reduce reliance on external financing; and

  • (c) once all proceeds of pre-sale are reallocated as revenue of the Target Group after delivery of vacant possession of all unfinished property units and car parking spaces, it is expected that the Target Group will have positive net assets.

The Directors have also taken into account that the Target Group incurred loss of approximately RMB101 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 when determining the Consideration and believe that the Acquisition is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole for the reasons below:

  • (a) the loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 was mainly attributable to the decrease in fair value of investment properties of Guangxi Baohui by approximately RMB210 million from approximately RMB1,310 million to RMB1,100 million. Having taken into account the fluctuation of the fair value of the investment properties, the Group had made reference to the preliminary equity valuation prepared by the Independent Valuer when determining the consideration for the Acquisition. The Independent Valuer has taken a conservative approach for the valuation of the investment properties of Guangxi Baohui, and has further adjusted downward the value of such investment properties; and

  • (b) as explained above, pursuant to the requirements of the applicable accounting standards, the Target Group will only be able to recognise revenue after the delivery of vacant possession of the relevant property units and car parking spaces. As (i) it is expected that the Target Group will record revenue as early as in late 2019 according to the current schedule of the development projects; and (ii) the Target Group has the proceeds of pre-sale of properties of approximately RMB3,424 million, the Board is confident that the projects will be profitable in the long run.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The cash and cash equivalent of the Target Group as at 31 December 2017 and 2018, and as at 31 August 2019 has been approximately RMB17,339,000, RMB19,820,000 and RMB12,604,000, respectively. The Target Group financed its working capital mainly by the pre-sale of property units, bank borrowings and advance from the Seller Group for the disbursements of operating expenses and construction cost with respect to the property development projects during the relevant reporting period.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

The following table sets forth the financial effects of the Acquisition on the Enlarged Group identified in the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular (‘‘Pro Forma Financial Information’’), assuming that completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2019, as compared to the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2019:

As set out in the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming that completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2019, the total assets of the Enlarged Group would have increased from approximately HK$18.14 billion to approximately HK$25.26 billion the total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would have increased from approximately HK$12.55 billion to approximately HK$20.95 billion and the net assets of the Enlarged Group would have decreased from approximately HK$5.59 billion to approximately HK$4.48 billion as a result of the Acquisition. Further details of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group are set out in Appendix IV to this Circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Earnings

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the future operating results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. As regards the financial effect on the relevant earnings of the Enlarged Group after the Acquisition, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Financial and Trading Prospect of the Enlarged Group’’ in Appendix I to this Circular for the corresponding details.

Capital expenditure

The capital expenditure required for completing the development of the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project and Wuxiang GFC Project is estimated to be around RMB2.65 billion and RMB1.51 billion, respectively. It is expected that the captioned funding will be financed mainly through the pre-sale of property units of Wuxianghu No. 1 Project. Besides, the Target Group can also, depending upon the exact funding needs at the relevant time, arrange to make further drawdown from the remaining portion of the Ping An Loan under the Amended Trust Loan Facility Agreement accordingly.

Further information regarding the financial position and financial performance of the Target Group, as well as management discussions and analysis and other financial information of the Target Group can be found in Appendices II, III, IV, V and VI to this Circular respectively.

PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY SHENZHEN BAONENG INVESTMENTS

Ping An granted a trust loan facility to Guangxi Baohui under the Amended Trust Loan Facility Agreement for the sole purpose of developing the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project on the following principal terms:

  • Principal amount : Up to RMB2 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$2.22 billion)

  • Interest rate : Depending on the length of the loan period and subject to other terms and conditions of the relevant tranche of the Ping An Loan, 11% to 11.5% per annum

  • Loan period : A maximum of 30 months after the advance of that tranche of the Ping An Loan

  • Security or guarantee : (a) the Baohui Property Mortgage given by Guangxi Baohui

  • (b) the equity pledge given by the Target Company over the entire equity interest in Guangxi Baohui; and

  • (c) the Guarantee given by Shenzhen Baoneng Investments.

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions for the relevant tranche of the Ping An Loan pursuant to the terms of the Amended Trust Loan Facility Agreement, Guangxi Baohui can draw down the outstanding amount available under the trust loan facility. On 16 May 2019, Guangxi Baohui had made the first drawdown of RMB163 million under the trust loan facility. The term of the first tranche of the Ping An Loan is one year. Guangxi Baohui shall repay RMB59 million and RMB104 million of the outstanding principal amount after the expiry 6 months and 12 months of the first drawdown, respectively. Subsequent to the first drawdown, Guangxi Baohui has not made any further drawdown under the Amended Trust Loan Facility Agreement.

The Ping An Loan and the Guarantee will continue after Completion. Guangxi Baohui will, depending on the funding needs at the relevant time taking into account the amount of proceeds of pre-sale of property units under construction in the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project, make subsequent drawdown from the remaining part of the trust loan facility. The subsequent drawdown can be made subject to the fulfilment of the drawdown conditions, including but not limited to (a) the delivery of the requisite internal corporate approvals of Guangxi Baohui and Shenzhen Baoneng Investments and external approvals; (b) the absence of breach of the transaction documents relating to the Ping An Loan to which Guangxi Baohui is a party; (c) the completion of registration of the Baohui Property Mortgage and the equity pledge given by the Target Company over the entire equity interest in Guangxi Baohui; (d) the issue of undertaking by Guangxi Baohui to Ping An to comply with the credit monitoring procedures; (e) the completion of the supervision measures of Ping An against Guangxi Baohui’s bank accounts; and (f) the proportion of the cumulative amount of advance to RMB2 billion not exceeding the proportion of such construction area under the building work permit to the total construction area of Wuxianghu No. 1 Project at the time of advance.

Ping An is an Independent Third Party and does not have any relationship with the Company, its connected person or the Seller Group. Ping An has no interest in Wuxianghu No. 1 Project and Wuxiang GFC Project apart from being the mortgagee in respect of certain units in the buildings in the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project under the Baohui Property Mortgage.

Shenzhen Baoneng Investments is wholly owned by Mr. Yao Zhenhua, the elder brother of Mr. Yao, and as a result a connected person of the Company. The Guarantee will constitute a continuing connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules during the period from the Completion up to the release of the Guarantee.

The Guarantee is a financial assistance received by a subsidiary of the Company (assuming occurrence of the Completion) from a connected person of the Company. As the Guarantee is conducted on normal commercial terms or better and is not secured by the assets of the Enlarged Group, it is fully exempt from the reporting, announcement, annual review and independent shareholders’ approvals requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.90 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION OF THE ACQUISITION

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yao was the chairman and an executive Director. By virtue of his holding of 3,145,858,700 Shares, representing approximately 69.14% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yao was also a controlling Shareholder under the Listing Rules.

Given that (i) Mr. Yao and Mr. Yao Zhenhua, the elder brother of Mr. Yao, together own the entire equity interest in Baoneng Holding, and effectively hold about 98.23% of equity interest in the Seller as at the Latest Practicable Date, and (ii) Mr. Yao is an executive Director and a controlling Shareholder, the Seller is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction for the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 25% but less than 100% for the Company, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Based on the foregoing, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements for the Company under the Listing Rules.

EGM

The Company will hold the EGM at Unit 2602, 26/F., Lippo Centre, Tower 1, No. 89 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Thursday, 19 December 2019 at 10:00 a.m., at which resolutions will be proposed for the purpose of considering and if thought fit, approving the Amended Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Transactions (including the Acquisition). The notice to convene the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-3 of this circular.

In light of the interest of Mr. Yao and his associates in the Seller, Mr. Yao and his associates have material interest in the Acquisition. They are thus required to abstain and will abstain from voting on approving the Amended Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Transactions at the EGM.

A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy, in accordance with the instructions printed on the form and deposit the same at the office of the Company’s branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time scheduled for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment of EGM (as the case may be).

Both Guangxi Baohui and Guangxi Shengze have development projects in Nanning, Guangxi Province.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Wuxiang GFC Project developed by Guangxi Shengze) (including the project completion time, sale/pre-sale and delivery timetable of the units) are set out in the section headed ‘‘INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP’’ of the Board Letter.

As further mentioned in the Board Letter, based on the information provided by the Seller, the Seller has not incurred any acquisition cost for the Target Company, save for those relating to tax, agency fee and any other costs for the establishment of the Target Company (such as registration fees) in the aggregate sum of less than RMB2,000.

According to the Board Letter, the capital expenditure required for completing the development of the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project and Wuxiang GFC Project is estimated to be around RMB2.65 billion and RMB1.51 billion, respectively. It is expected that the captioned funding will be financed mainly through the pre-sale of property units of Wuxianghu No. 1 Project. Besides, the Target Group can also, depending upon the exact funding needs at the relevant time, arrange to make further drawdown from the remaining portion of the Ping An Loan under the Amended Trust Loan Facility Agreement accordingly.

Set out below are the unaudited financial information of Guangxi Shengze and Guangxi Baohui for each of FY2017 and FY2018 as extracted from the Board Letter:

Note: The Target Company was incorporated on 25 March 2019. The financial information for each of FY2017 and FY2018 represent the financial information of Guangxi Shengze and Guangxi Baohui without being consolidated under the Target Company.

With reference to audited financial information of the Target Group as contained in Appendix II to the Circular and the section headed ‘‘MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP’’ as contained in Appendix III to the Circular, for the three years ended 31 December 2018, all revenue of the Target Group were contributed by Wuxianghu No. 1 Project, and no revenue was recognized in respect of the Wuxiang GFC Project. The Target Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB25,129,000 for FY2017 and RMB534,535,000 for FY2018. Such increase was directly caused by the sharp increase in number of units of properties sold from 19 commercial units in 2017 to 782 residential units and 50 commercial units in 2018. The Target Group’s revenue dropped from approximately RMB500 million for the eight months ended 31 August 2018 to approximately RMB8.9 million for the eight months

– 29 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

ended 31 August 2019 because of the substantial decline in number of units of properties sold (from 782 residential units and 19 commercial units in the first eight months in 2018 to only one residential unit and five commercial units in the first eight months in 2019).

With reference to the Board Letter, pursuant to the requirements of the applicable accounting standards, the Target Group will only be able to recognize revenue after the delivery of vacant possession of the relevant property units and car parking spaces. As advised by the Directors, it is expected that the Target Group will record revenue from Wuxiang GFC Project as early as in late 2019 according to the current schedule of the development projects; and the Target Group has proceeds of approximately RMB3,424 million from pre-sale of properties from Wuxiang GFC Project as at 31 August 2019. The unaudited loss of approximately RMB101 million incurred by the Target Group for FY2018 was mainly attributable to the decrease in fair value of investment properties of Guangxi Baohui.

According to the Board Letter, the unaudited consolidated total assets and consolidated net liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2019 was approximately RMB5,334,077,000 and RMB171,223,000. The proceeds of pre-sale contributed to around 70% of all liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2019. As a property developer, the Target Group can only recognize the sales of properties as revenue when delivering the vacant possession of the completed property units and car parking spaces to the purchasers and all proceeds of pre-sale can only be recognized as liabilities before the delivery of vacant possession pursuant to requirements under accounting standards.

As further mentioned in the Board Letter, the Target Group had cash and cash equivalent of approximately RMB17,339,000 as at 31 December 2017, RMB19,820,000 as at 31 December 2018 and RMB12,604,000 as at 31 August 2019. The Target Group financed its working capital mainly by the pre-sale of property units, bank borrowings and advance from the Seller Group for the disbursements of operating expenses and construction cost with respect to the property development projects during the relevant reporting period.

Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition

With reference to the Board Letter, the core business activity of the Group is property development and property investment in the PRC. It holds a total of nine land development projects in the different locations across the country such as Changchun, Changsha, Chaoshan, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Weinan, and Yunfu.

As further mentioned in the Board Letter, the Group can, through the Acquisition, establish its first project base in Nanning, the provincial city of Guangxi Province. When deciding to establish its presence in Nanning and invest in the development projects, the Directors have taken into account the fact that: (a) Nanning has a strategic location as the capital city of Guangxi, an important gateway to Southeast Asia, a core city of the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone and one of the cities participating in the Belt and Road Initiative; (b) the development projects are situated in Wuxiang District, a new development district and new urban area, and a new hot spot for Nanning’s economic development; and (c) the Group can utilise the existing management team and other available resources of the

– 30 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Target Group to tap into the property market in Nanning and the neighbouring cities. Furthermore, both of the aforesaid development projects are in relatively mature stage where the Group can expect to attain revenue and profits in foreseeable future. On the above basis, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition will enable the Group to expand and diversify its property portfolio and further develop its property development business in the PRC.

With reference to the 2019 Interim Report, after establishing property investment and development as an important business segment of the Company in 2017, the Group had developed into a large-scale real estate company primarily engaged in integrated property development and services covering multi-forked product segments including office buildings, commercial, multi-story and high-rise residences, hotels, commercial apartments, villas, and garden houses, owning a total of nine development projects in seven cities across the country with a total construction area of 2.93 million square meters and a total investment of approximately RMB25 billion. In the first half of 2019, the Group prioritized both investment and operation to accelerate the entry of residential units into the market. At the same time, it promoted the development and construction of various property projects as planned while actively exploring new projects.

As further mentioned in the 2019 Interim Report, the Group will focus on property investment and development. On one hand, the Group will focus on and actively expand its presence in city clusters and regional core cities that enjoy national support. On the other hand, the Group will accelerate its paces in launching real estate projects, and enhance the velocity of turnover of real estate development projects so as to maintain sound liquidity. The Group will solidify its property investment and development segment so as to ensure smooth operation of its core business.

For our due diligence purpose, we performed the following analysis on the real estate market in the PRC and the economics of Nanning.

According to the statistics published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, (i) the investment actually completed by enterprises for real estate development in the PRC increased from approximately RMB9,503.6 billion in 2014 to approximately RMB12,026.4 billion in 2018, representing a compound annual growth rate (‘‘CAGR’’) of approximately 6.06%; (ii) the floor space of commercialized buildings sold in the PRC increased from approximately 1,206.5 million square meters in 2014 to approximately 1,716.5 million square meters in 2018, representing a CAGR of approximately 9.22%; and (iii) the floor space of residential buildings sold in the PRC increased from approximately 1,051.9 million square meters in 2014 to approximately 1,479.3 million square meters in 2018, representing a CAGR of approximately 8.90%.

In addition, according to《南寧市國民經濟和社會發展統計公報》(Statistical Bulletin on National Economic and Social Development of Nanning*) as published by the Guangxi Nanning Municipal Bureau of Statistics, the gross domestic product of Nanning increased from approximately RMB314.8 billion in 2014 to approximately

– 31 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

RMB434.1 billion in 2018, representing a CAGR of approximately 8.36%. The annual disposable income per capita of urban household in Nanning increased from RMB27,075 in 2014 to RMB35,276 in 2018, representing a CAGR of approximately 6.84%.

Having considered the above, in particular, (i) that the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s development strategy; (ii) the performance of the Group’s real estate and property investment segment; and (iii) the statistics of the PRC real estate market and the economics of Nanning as highlighted above, we concur with the Directors that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

Valuation of the Target Company

The Company engaged the Independent Valuer to conduct the valuation on the fair value of the Target Company as at 31 August 2019. According to the Equity Valuation Report, the valuation of the Target Company as at 31 August 2019 was approximately RMB314,034,000 (the ‘‘Equity Valuation’’). The Consideration of RMB300 million represents a discount of approximately 4.47% to the Equity Valuation.

For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed the Equity Valuation Report and discussed with the Independent Valuer regarding the methodology adopted and the basis and assumptions used in the valuation. In preparing the Equity Valuation Report, the Independent Valuer adopted the cost approach. As confirmed by the Independent Valuer, the cost approach is one of the commonly adopted approaches for valuation of business and is also consistent with normal market practice.

With reference to the Equity Valuation Report, as the major asset of the Target Company is the inventories and investment properties and there are no other major business operations other than property sales and lease rental of the investment properties, the Independent Valuer considered that the sum of the value of individual assets and liabilities on book could represent the value of the Target Company and applied summation method under the cost approach. In particular, the book value of the inventories and investment properties of Guangxi Baohui and Guangxi Shengze are adjusted to market value as at the Valuation Date. In respect of the market value of the inventories and investment properties, the Independent Valuer referred to the Property Valuation Report. As confirmed by the Independent Valuer, the valuation was carried out in accordance with the International Valuation Standards 2017 as published by the International Valuation Standards Council. The International Valuation Standards 2017 set out, among others, key steps and considerations for different types of valuation approaches and methods (including making relevant adjustments to the cost of the subject asset under the cost approach). Details of the summation method (including the fair value adjustments adopted by the Independent Valuer) are set out in the section headed ‘‘APPLICATION OF COST APPROACH’’ in the Equity Valuation Report as set out in Appendix VI to the Circular.

For our due diligence purpose, we also reviewed the Property Valuation Report and discussed with the Independent Valuer regarding the methodology adopted and the basis and assumptions used in the valuation. In preparing the Property Valuation Report, the Independent Valuer adopted the market approach. As confirmed by the Independent Valuer, the market approach is one of the commonly adopted approaches for valuation of property interest and is also consistent with normal market practice.

According to the Property Valuation Report as contained in Appendix V to the Circular, the Independent Valuer have been provided with a legal opinion by the Group’s PRC legal adviser regarding the legal title of the property (the ‘‘PRC Legal Opinion’’). As mentioned in the Property Valuation Report, according to the relevant land grant contracts, relevant developments of the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project and the Wuxiang GFC Project shall be completed by 30 April 2017 and 6 March 2017 respectively. Nevertheless, as at the valuation date, the developments were still under construction.

In relation to the Wuxianghu No. 1 Project, with reference to the PRC Legal Opinion, (i) Guangxi Baohui has applied to the planning and construction committee of Guangxi Nanning Wuxiang New District (the ‘‘Committee’’) for delay due to, among others, the suspension of construction work during 2014–2016 of government conference and that the construction plan was improved to meet the standards of relevant notice issued by the Committee; (ii) the delay of property development is common in the PRC; (iii) as at 31 August 2019, Guangxi Baohui had not received any notice about penalty of postpone from the Committee; (iv) a verbal agreement was reached in July 2019 between Guangxi Baohui and the Committee, whereby the Committee agreed to postpone the completion date to a later date and that no penalty will be charged; and (v) the PRC legal adviser considered that the chance of Guangxi Baohui being penalized for the delay is minimal.

In relation to the Wuxiang GFC Project, with reference to the PRC Legal Opinion, (i) Guangxi Shengze has applied to the Committee for delay due to, among others, the wide range of hard foundation, the holding of World Gymnastics Championship and government conference and the revised planning of basement; (ii) the delay of property development is common in the PRC; and (iii) on 12 October 2019, the Natural Resources Bureau of Nanning entered into an agreement with Guangxi Shengze pursuant to which the Committee agreed to postpone the completion date of the Wuxiang GFC Project to 21 March 2020.

Further details of the Property Valuation Report and the Equity Valuation Report (including but not limited to details of the valuation methodology and valuation assumptions) are set out in Appendix V and Appendix VI to the Circular.

We also reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer with the Company; (ii) the Independent Valuer’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Property Valuation Report and the Equity Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Independent Valuer for conducting the valuation. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by the Independent Valuer and based on our interview with them, we are satisfied with the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer as well as their qualification and experience for preparation of the Property Valuation Report and the Equity Valuation Report. The Independent Valuer also confirmed that they are independent to the Group, GSFG, the Seller and the Target Group.

During our discussion with the Independent Valuer, we did not identify any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the valuation.

Accordingly, we consider that the Equity Valuation Report is a fair and reasonable reference for the assessment of the fair value of the Target Company.

The maximum liability of the Target Group as at 30 September 2019 under charge was RMB450,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$493,200,000), representing the amount of borrowing drawn as at that date.

As at 30 September 2019, a subsidiary of the Target Company gave guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks relating to mortgage loans arranged for certain buyers of the Target Group’s properties. Under the guarantees, the Target Group is responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage instalments and penalty owed by the defaulted buyers to the banks upon default in mortgage payments by these buyers. The maximum liability of the Target Group as at 30 September 2019 under guarantees was RMB373,608,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$409,474,000), representing the amount of bank loans drawn under the guarantees as at that date.

Save as aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, as at the close of business on 30 September 2019, the Enlarged Group had no other: (i) debt securities issued and outstanding, and authorised or otherwise created but unissued or term loans; (ii) bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments or other borrowings; (iii) mortgages and charges; and (iv) contingent liabilities or guarantees.

3. MATERIAL CHANGE

Save as disclosed below, the Directors confirm that they were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2018, being the date up to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made, and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. WORKING CAPITAL SUFFICIENCY

The Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that after taking into account the financial resources available to the Enlarged Group including the internally generated funds and available facilities, the effect of the Acquisition and the Completion of the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group will have sufficient working capital for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

After establishing property investment and development as an important business segment of the Company in 2017, followed by business adjustment in 2017 and 2018, the Group has now developed into a large-scale real estate company primarily engaged in integrated property development and services covering multi-forked product segments including office buildings, commercial, multi-storey and high-rise residences, hotels, commercial apartments, villas, and garden houses, owning a total of nine development projects in seven cities across the country with a total construction area of 2.93 million square meters and a total investment of approximately RMB25 billion. In the first half of 2019, the Group prioritized both its investment and operation to speed up its entry into the residential property market. At the same time, it promoted the development and construction of various property projects as planned while actively exploring new projects opportunities.

The Target Group indirectly holds interests in two development projects in Nanning City of Guangxi Province. It has a competent real estate development team of about 150 qualified members. The team is specialized in managing large-scale real estate development projects in those areas such as conducting cost budgetary control, developing sales network and devising and implementing marketing strategies. Benefited from the above two high quality real estate projects mainly owned by Guangxi Baohui and Guangxi Shengze, the Target Group has won a good reputation in the local real estate market in Nanning which can aid the Group to explore further new business opportunities in both Nanning and the neighbouring cities after Completion. It is also expected that the Acquisition will further promote the Group’s brand in the Nanning real estate market and expand the Group’s land reserves and enhance its capability for sustainable development.

Since the real estate development projects of the Target Group are in a relatively mature stage, it is expected that substantial revenue and profits will be brought into the Enlarged Group soon after the Completion. Accordingly, the Group believes that its long-term business strategy can be substantiated and realised through the Acquisition, and that the business synergies created between the Group and its controlling shareholder would allow the Group to stand in good position as disclosed in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition’’ under the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ to this circular, the Board is optimistic about the future development in properties development business as well as the profitability of the Enlarged Group.

APPENDIX II

The following is the text of a report set out on pages II-1 to II-3, received from the Company’s reporting accountants, BDO Limited, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, for the purpose of incorporation in this Circular.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE DIRECTORS OF GLORY SUN LAND GROUP LIMITED

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of Shenzhen Baoneng Hengchuang Industrial Limited (the ‘‘Target Company’’) and its subsidiaries (together, the ‘‘Target Group’’) set out on pages II-4 to II-55, which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2016, 2017, 2018 and 31 August 2019, and the statement of financial position of the Target Company as at 31 August 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the periods then ended (the ‘‘Track Record Period’’) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together, the ‘‘Historical Financial Information’’). The Historical Financial Information set out on pages II-4 to II-55 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of Glory Sun Land Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 29 November 2019 (the ‘‘Circular’’) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the entire equity interest of the Target Company by an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Directors’ responsibility for the Historical Financial Information

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Notes 1.3 and 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reporting accountants’ 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.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Notes 1.3 and 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

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

Opinion

In our opinion the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Target Company as at 31 August 2019, and the consolidated financial position of the Target Group as at 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and 31 August 2019 and of the Target Group’s consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Notes 1.3 and 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

Review of stub period comparative historical financial information

We have reviewed the stub period comparative historical financial information of the Target Group which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the eight months ended 31 August 2018 and other explanatory information (the ‘‘Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information’’). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Notes 1.3 and 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative

  • The local auditor’s reports of these companies for the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 were prepared by the local auditors, namely 廣西眾拓會計師事務所有限公司 and 中喜會計師事務 所(特殊普通合夥)深圳分所 in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC.

  • ^ As at the date of this report, no local auditor’s report have been issued for these companies, as they have not either carried on any business since their respective date of incorporation or not subject to any statutory audit requirements under the relevant rules and regulations in the PRC. These companies were disposed on 14 August 2019 to the Target Company’s immediate holding company.

1.2 REORGANISATION

In the preparation for the proposed acquisition of the entire equity interest of the Target Company by the Company (the ‘‘Proposed Acquisition’’), the Target Company and other companies comprising the Target Group have undergone a reorganisation (the ‘‘Reorganisation’’) pursuant to which group companies engaged in the Business have been transferred to the Target Company during the Track Record Period. The Target Company’s principal subsidiaries comprising the Target Group after the completion of the Reorganisation are set out in Note 1.1.

– II-11 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

1.3 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Immediately prior to and after the Reorganisation, the Business has been controlled by Mr. Yao Jianhui (‘‘Mr. Yao’’) and Mr. Yao Zhenhua as concert parties. Mr. Yao Zhenhua is the elder brother of Mr. Yao. Pursuant to the Reorganisation, the Business was transferred to and held by the Target Company. The Target Company has not been involved in any other business prior to the Reorganisation and does not meet the definition of a business. The Reorganisation is merely a reorganisation with no change in management of such business and the ultimate controlling parties remain the same. Accordingly, the Target Group resulting from the Reorganisation is regarded as a continuation of the business conducted by the Target Group and, for the purpose of this report, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared and presented as a continuation of the consolidated financial information of the Target Group, with the assets and liabilities of the Target Group recognised and measured at the carrying amounts of the business under the consolidated financial information of the Target Group for all years presented.

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

The Historical Financial Information and Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’), Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKAS’’) and Interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘HKFRSs’’) issued by the HKICPA. The Historical Financial Information and Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information also complies with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The preparation of Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of significant accounting judgements and estimates. Although these judgements and estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge, judgements and estimates of current events and actions, actual results maybe ultimately differ from those judgements and estimates. The areas involving a high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas whose assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information are set out in Note 4.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs. For the purpose of preparing the Historical Financial Information, the Target Group has adopted all of applicable new and revised HKFRSs during the Track Record Period as set out in the significant accounting policies in Note 3, together with relevant transitional provisions including HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (‘‘HKFRS 9’’), HKFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (‘‘HKFRS 15’’) and HKFRS 16 Leases (‘‘HKFRS 16’’) and related amendments of those standards have been early adopted from 1 January 2016 except for any new amendments that are not yet effective for the financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

(b) Basis of measurement and going concern assumptions

The Historical Financial Information and Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the investment properties which is measured at fair values as described in the significant accounting policies in Note 3.

The Target Group had recorded net current liabilities and capital deficiency of approximately RMB891,968,000 and RMB694,671,000 as at 31 August 2019 respectively and the Target Company had recorded net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,619,000 as at 31 August 2019. The Target Group and the Target Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Notwithstanding this, the going concern basis has been adopted after taking into account the following measures:

  • (a) Mr. Yao has confirmed to provide continuing financial support to the Target Group and the Target Company before the completion of the Proposed Acquisition so as to enable the Target Group and the Target Company to meet its obligation and liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue its day-to-day business operations as a going concern;

– II-12 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

  • (b) a trust loan facility up to RMB2 billion obtained from an independent third party as a liquidity cushion for operating cash flows, of which the trust loan facility is available to draw down (Note 21); and

  • (c) Glory Sun Land Group Limited, being the new intermediate holding company of the Target Company after completion of the Proposed Acquisition has confirmed, upon the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, it has the ability and intention to maintain the going concern of the Target Group and the Target Company, on a need basis, for the foreseeable future to enable the Target Group and the Target Company to meet its obligation and liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue day-to-day business operations as going concern.

Should the Target Group and the Target Company be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the values of the assets to their net realisable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

The Historical Financial Information and Stub Period Comparative Historical Financial Information are presented in RMB, which is also the functional currency of the Target Company.

2.2 NEW/REVISED HKFRSs THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT ARE NOT YET EFFECTIVE

The following new or revised HKFRSs that are potentially relevant to the Target Group’s operations, have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial period of the Target Group beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and have not been early adopted:

Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 Definition of Material1
Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of Business1
HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts2
Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its
HKAS 28 (2011) Associate or Joint Venture3
  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 3 No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption

The Target Group is in the progress of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Target Group’s result of operation and financial positions.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the Track Record Period presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of combination and basis of consolidation

The Historical Financial Information comprises the financial statements of the Target Company and its subsidiaries for each of the Track Record Period.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Target Group has control. The Target Group controls an entity when the Target Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Target Group has power over the entity, only substantive rights relating to the entity (held by the Target Group and others) are considered.

– II-13 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

The Target Group includes the income and expenses of a subsidiary in the Historical Financial Information from the date it gains control until the date when the Target Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions have been eliminated in full on combination. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case the loss is recognised in profit or loss. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Target Company, using consistent accounting policies.

(b) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an investee over which the Target Company is able to exercise control. The Target Company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: (1) power over the investee, (2) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee, and (3) the ability to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Target Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(c) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and the costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Property, plant and equipment, except for leasehold improvements, are depreciated so as to write off their cost, net of expected residual value, over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. For the leasehold improvements are depreciated over their respective lease terms. Their estimated useful life are as follows:

Furniture and office equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 10 years Leasehold improvements Over the remaining lease terms

The residual value, estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The carrying amount of an asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset and are recognised with ‘‘other income’’ in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

(d) Properties under development

Properties under development are investments in land and buildings on which construction work has not been completed and which, upon completion, the Target Group intends to hold for sale purposes. Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated cost to completion and estimated selling expenses. The costs of properties under development consist of leasehold land held (Note 3(g)), development expenditures including construction costs, borrowing costs, professional fees, payments for land use rights and other direct costs attributable to the development of such properties.

Properties under development are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant properties development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.

Sales deposits or instalments received and receivable from the purchasers in respect of the pre-sale of properties under development prior to completion of the development are included in current liabilities.

(e) Properties held for sale

Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by an apportionment of the total land and building cost attributable to unsold properties. Net realisable value is estimated by the Directors of the Target Company based on the prevailing market price on an individual property basis.

(f) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties being constructed held either to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or for both, but not held for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

When the Target Group holds property interests which has met the definition of investment properties, the Target Group should classify these property interests as investment properties.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values using the fair value models, unless they are still in the course of construction or development at the reporting date and their fair value cannot be reliably determined at that time. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

If an investment property becomes an item of property, plant and equipment because of its usage has changed as evidenced by the commencement of owner-occupation, the property’s deemed cost for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use.

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

(g) Lease

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date which the leased asset is available for use by the Target Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Cash

– II-15 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

payments for the principal portion and interests of the lease liability are classified within financing activities. Payments for short-term leases, leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability, but remain presented within operating activity.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.

Short-term leases

The Target Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to lease of office equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement dates of the lease and do not contain any purchase options included in the leasing agreements. Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease terms of the office equipment.

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use asset is recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, which comprise the following items:

  • . the amount of initial measurement of lease liability;

  • . any lease payment made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  • . any initial direct costs, and;

  • . estimated present values of restoration and dismantling costs

The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses by applying HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets, except for the following categories of right-of-use asset:

  • . right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment properties are carried at fair value; and

  • . right-of-use assets related to interests in leasehold land where the interest in the land is held as inventories are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • . fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  • . variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate;

  • . amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • . the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

  • . payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the less’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

– II-16 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

The lease liabilities is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The Target Group remeasures the lease liabilities and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset whenever:

  • . the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate;

  • . the lease payments changes due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual valuer, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discounted rate, unless the payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used; or

  • . a lease contract is modified and the lease modification (as describe below) is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

Lease modifications

The Target Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

  • . the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

  • . the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Target Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

Taxation

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Target Group recognises the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Target Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the lease liabilities.

For leasing transactions in which the tax deductions are attributable to the lease liabilities, the Target Group applies HKAS 12 Income Tax requirements to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately. Temporary differences relating to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognised at initial recognition and over the lease terms due to application of the initial recognition exemption.

(h) Financial assets

The Target Group classifies its financial assets as measured at amortised cost only. Such classification of the Target Group’s financial assets at initial recognition depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of cash flows.

At initial recognition, the Target Group measures its financial asset at fair value plus, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and

– II-17 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase of sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require deliver of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the market place concerned.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period, the Target Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as fair value through profit or loss:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses, if any. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss in which the period incurred.

Impairment loss on financial assets

The Target Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The application of impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk by considering reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Target Group’s experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

Definition of default

The Target Group considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as per historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable.

  • when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or

  • information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors in full without taking into account any collaterals held.

Definition of stages of default of receivables are as follows:

  • Stage 1: Exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and that are not ‘‘credit-impaired’’ upon origination, the portion of the lifetime ECL associated with probability of default events occurring within next 12 months is recognised.

  • Stage 2: Exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but are not ‘‘credit-impaired, a lifetime ECL (i.e. remaining lifetime of a financial asset) to be recognised.

  • Stage 3: Exposures is assessed as ‘‘credit-impaired’’ when one or more than one event(s) indicating a detrimental impact on estimated future cash flows of an asset has or have occurred. For exposures that a financial asset has considered as ‘‘creditimpaired’’, a lifetime ECL to be recognised.

– II-18 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

Credit-impaired financial assets

At the end of each reporting date, the Target Group assesses whether its financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘‘credit-impaired’’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or past due event;

  • the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Target Group on terms that the Target Group would not consider otherwise;

  • it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Write-off policy

The Target Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Target Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

Measurement and recognition of ECL

ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses and are measured as follow:

  • financial assets that are not credit-impaired at the reporting date: as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Target Group expects to receive); and

  • financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date: as the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated further cash flows.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Target Group 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 asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial assest and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

– II-19 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

(i) Finance liabilities and equity instruments

The Target Group classifies its financial liabilities, depending on the purpose for which the liabilities were incurred.

Recognition and measurement

The Target Group classifies its financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which the liabilities were incurred. Financial liabilities at amortised costs are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable costs incurred.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost including trade and other payables, amounts due to related companies, immediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries, and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised in profit or loss.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

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 period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Derecognition

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Where the Target Group issues its own equity instruments to a creditor to settle a financial liability in whole or in part as a result of renegotiating the terms of that liability, the equity instruments issued are the consideration paid and are recognised initially and measured at their fair value on the date the financial liability or part thereof is extinguished. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued cannot be reliably measured, the equity instruments are measured to reflect the fair value of the financial liability extinguished. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or part thereof extinguished and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Equity instruments

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

(j) Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by the Target Group and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Target Group measures the financial guarantee contact at the higher of: (i) the amount of the loss allowance, being the ECL provision measure in accordance with principles of the accounting policies set out in Note 3(h); and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the principles of HKFRS 15.

– II-20 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

(k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs arising from general and specific borrowings 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. Income earned on temporary investments of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on those assets is deducted from borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(m) Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the year/period comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current income tax

Current income tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.

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

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.

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 (and tax laws(that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of each reporting period.

Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income or when they relate to items recognised directly in equity in which case the taxes are also recognised directly in equity.

– II-21 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

An exception to the general requirement on determining the appropriate tax rate used in measuring deferred tax amount is when an investment property is carried at fair value under HKAS 40 Investment Property. Unless the presumption is rebutted, the deferred tax amounts on these investment properties are measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of these investment properties at their carrying amounts at the reporting date. 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 economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale.

(n) PRC land appreciation tax

PRC land appreciation tax PRC land appreciation tax is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds from sales of properties less deductible expenditures including land costs, borrowing costs, business taxes and all property development expenditures. PRC land appreciation tax is recognised as an income tax expense. PRC land appreciation tax paid is a deductible expense for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenues from sales of properties are recognised when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the purchaser. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time. Control of the asset is transferred over time if the Target Group’s performance

  • provides benefits which are received and consumed simultaneously by the purchaser; or

  • creates and enhances an asset that the purchaser controls as the Target Group performs; or

  • does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Group and the Target Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the asset transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the purchaser obtains control of the asset.

The progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured based on the Target Group’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation that best depict the Target Group’s performance in satisfying the performance obligation.

In determining the transaction price, the Target Group adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effect of a financing component if it is significant.

(i) Sales of properties

For property development and sales contracts for which the control of the property is transferred at a point in time, revenue is recognised when the purchaser obtains the physical possession or the legal title of the completed property and the Target Group has present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

The Target Group assessed that its property sales contracts do not meet the criteria for recognising revenue over time and therefore revenue from property sales is recognised at a point in time.

Deposits and instalments received from purchasers prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in current liabilities as contract liabilities (Note 3(v)).

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

(ii) Other income

Other income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and when the income can be measured reliably.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(p) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Short-term employee benefits are recognised in the period when the employees render the related service.

(ii) Defined contribution retirement plan

The employees are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. It is required to contribute certain percentage of employees’ salaries to the central pension scheme.

Contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as employees render services during the period.

(q) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group and Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets including property, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased.

If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use) of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

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

Value-in-use is based on the estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or cash generating unit (i.e. the smallest identified group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets), discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit.

(r) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

– II-23 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Target Group are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(s) Share capital

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

(t) Related parties

  • (i) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Target Group if that person:

  • (a) has control or joint control over the Target Group;

  • (b) has significant influence over the Target Group; or

  • (b) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);

  • (c) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (d) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (e) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Target Group or an entity related to the Target Group;

  • (f) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (i);

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

(u) Segment reporting

Operating segments and the amounts of each segment item reported in the Historical Financial Information are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Target Group’s chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of the Target Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or to provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

(v) Contract assets and contract liabilities

Upon entering into a contract with a customer, the Target Group obtains right to receive consideration from the customer and assumes performance obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer. The combination of those rights and performance obligations give rise to a net contract asset or net contract liability depending on the relationship between the remaining rights and the performance obligations.

A contract asset is recognised when the Target Group transfers a good or performs a service in the contract before receiving consideration from the customer or when the cumulative revenue recognised exceeds cumulative payments made by the customer. A contract asset is transferred to a receive when the right to receive the consideration becomes unconditional. Conversely, a contract liability is recognised when the amounts received from a customer exceed revenue recognised for a contract or when advance payment is received from a customer before a good or service is transferred. A contract liability would also be recognised if the Target Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration before the Target Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised.

Contract assets are assessed for impairment under the same approach adopted for impairment assessment of financial assets carried at amortised cost. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Target Group transfers the goods or services to the customers and therefore satisfies its performance obligations. Deposits received on sales of properties are regarded as contract liabilities and presented separately on the face of the consolidated statements of financial position under current liabilities.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The following is the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimates (see below), that the Directors of the Target Company have made in the process of applying the Target Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Historical Financial Information.

Going concern consideration

The assessment of the going concern assumption involves of making a judgement by the directors, at a particular point of time, about the future outcome of events or conditions which are inherently uncertain. The directors consider that both of the Target Group and Target Company have the capability to continue as a going concern and the going concern assumption is set out in Note 2.1.

– II-25 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

(i) Impairment of receivables

The Target Group makes allowances for receivables based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Target Group used judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation based on the Target Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at each reporting date. The management reassesses the impairment of receivables at each reporting date. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such differences will affect the carrying value of receivables and thus the impairment loss in the period in which such estimate is changed.

(ii) Estimates of current tax and deferred tax

The Target Group is subject to enterprise income tax (‘‘EIT’’). Significant judgement is required in determining the amount of the provision for taxation, particularly for the PRC land appreciation tax (‘‘LAT’’), and implementation of these taxes varies amongst in various PRC cities. The Target Group has not finalised its LAT calculations and payments with certain local tax authorities in the PRC. Accordingly, significant estimation is required in determining the amount of the land appreciation and its related LAT. The Target Group recognised EIT and LAT based on the management’s best estimates according to their understanding of the tax rules. The final tax outcome could be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, and these differences will affect the tax expenses in the period of which the tax calculations are finalised with the local tax authorities.

(iii) Net realisable value of properties under development

The management determines that the net realisable value of the properties under development which involves, inter-alia, considerable estimation based on the analysis of current market price of properties of a comparable standard and location, construction costs to be incurred to complete the development based on existing asset structure and construction material price lists and a forecast of future sales taking into account economic factors and government measures and policies. If the actual net realisable values of the underlying properties are less than the previous estimations as a result of change in market condition, government measures and policies and/or significant variation in the budgeted development cost, allowance for inventories of properties may result.

(iv) Useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The carrying value of property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances which indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the Target Group’s accounting policies as set out in Note 3. The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use, the calculations of which involve the use of estimates from the management.

(v) Fair value of investment properties

Investment properties including land, completed and non-completed properties and are revalued at the end of each reporting period by independent professionally qualified valuers. For completed properties or land which is under preliminary development stage, direct comparison method is adopted based on prices realised on actual sales and/or asking prices of comparable properties. For non-completed properties, the valuer assume they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided by the Management, direct comparison method is also adopted by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the property market and has taken into account the expended construction costs and costs that will be expended to complete the development.

– II-26 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

Investment properties for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Historical Financial Information are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For the investment properties that is recognised in the Historical Financial Information on a recurring basis, the Target Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Target Group operates only one business segment that is engaged in properties development in the PRC during the Track Record Period. Accordingly, no further disclosures by reportable segment based on business segment are made.

All of the Target Group’s assets are located in the PRC. Accordingly, no further disclosures by reportable segment based on geographical areas are made.

The Target Group’s investment properties including investment properties under construction in the PRC were currently held for capital appreciation and/or rental purposes and revalued by Valtech Valuation Advisory Limited, independent professional qualified valuers, as at 31 December 2016, 2017, 2018 and 31 August 2019. The fair valuation of properties were derived from direct comparison method classified as Level 3 as defined in Note 3(v). For investment properties under construction, the valuer assume they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided by the management with reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the property market and has taken into account the expended construction costs and costs that will be expended to complete the development project.

As at 31 December 2018, completed properties with an aggregate value of approximately RMB127,237,000 was pledged to secure the general banking facility of the Target Group and released after the repayment during 2019 as disclosed in Note 21.

According to state-owned land use rights grant contracts dated in September 2013 and April 2014 and respective supplementary state-owned land use rights grant contracts dated in May, July and October 2014, these parcels of land for the property development projects of Guangxi Shengze and Guangxi Baohui were required to be completed by 6 March 2017 and 30 June 2017 respectively. As of the end of reporting period, the development was still under construction. A failure to meet any development milestones contained in the relevant state-owned land use rights grant contracts may lead to a daily penalty of 0.01% of the consideration of state-owned land use rights grant contracts in according with the terms of state-owned land use rights grant contracts. The Target Group had made submission to relevant land authority on application of extension of completion of development on the ground that such delay has been due to various reasons beyond its control. On 12 October 2019, the relevant land authority entered into an agreement with Guangxi Shengze which agreed to postpone the completion date of development to 21 March 2020. As advised by the Target Group, there was no formal written notice has been served to Guangxi Baohui by the relevant land authority in respect of the possible breach of state-owned land use rights grant contracts and the relevant land authority has verbally agreed to postpone the completion date to a later date without imposing any penalty. Up to the date of this report, the Target Group is still waiting for the written notice of extension from the relevant land authority. After consultation with the Company’s PRC legal advisor and taking into account the current status of the construction, the directors consider no provision in respect of the possible breach of state-owned land use rights grant contracts is required to be recognised as of the end of each reporting period.

The valuations of investment properties take into account of the underlying characteristics of properties including the location, size, usage, quality and timing of comparable transactions used.

A significant increase/(decrease) in the premium/(discounts) on characteristics of properties, average market price per square metre and expanded construction cost would result in significantly higher/(lower) of the fair value of investment properties. There was no change in the valuation technique used by the property valuer and fair value measurement hierarchy during the Track Record Period. The fair value measurement is based on the above properties’ highest and best use, which does not differ from their actual usage.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

The Target Group measurers the loss allowance of trade receivables by using HKFRS 9 simplified approach by assuming all of customers shared a similar credit risk characteristics under lifetime ECL calculation. Provision matrix is used to measure the ECL of trade receivables. The default rates are based on past due days by grouping trade customers with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probabilityweighted outcomes, time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available about past events, current conditions and forecast of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables is written off in full if it is past due more than 90 days and not subject to any enforcement activity. During the Track Record Period, the calculated ECL is immaterial to be recognised in the Historical Financial Information.

Further details on the Target Group’s credit policy and credit risk from trade receivables are set out in Note 27(ii).

Other receivables

The movements of loss allowance of other receivables during the Track Record Period are as follows:

The ECL calculations of other receivables are based on 12-months ECL calculations that result from possible default events within 12 months after the end of each reporting periods. However, whenever there is any significant increase in credit risk since its initial recognition, the loss allowance will be based on lifetime ECL calculations. When determining whether the credit risk has been increased significantly since its initial recognition, the Target Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort, including both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Target Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment with forward-looking information.

The Target Group did not hold any collateral as security or other credit enhancement over the other receivables.

Further details on the Target Group’s credit policy and credit risk from other receivables are set out in Note 27(ii).

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The main risks arising from the Target Group’s financial instruments include interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk and liquidity risk. The Target Group has no significant exposures to other financial risks except as disclosed below. The Director of the Target Company reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

(i) Interest rate risk

The Target Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from its borrowings as disclosed in Note 21. Borrowings were issued at fixed interest rates which expose the Target Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Target Group has no cash flow interest rate risk as there is no borrowings which bear floating interest rates. The Target Group has not used any financial instruments to hedge potential fluctuations in interest rates.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to the Target Group. Target Group’s exposure to credit risk mainly arises from its financial assets, including trade and other receivables, loan receivable, amounts due from related companies, intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents.

The Target Group continuously monitors defaults of counterparties, identified either individually or by group by incorporating with their past history of repayments, and taking into account information specific to the counterparties as well as the economic environment where they operate. information into its credit risk controls. The Target Group’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The Target Group’s cash and bank at each reporting date are mainly maintained with authorised banks in the PRC.

The credit risk for cash at banks is considered as negligible since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit rating.

At 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and 31 August 2019, except for loan receivable and trade receivable arise from one single counterparty respectively, there was no concentration of credit risk arise from the remaining receivables.

Financial guarantee contracts

The principle risk to which the Target Group exposed is credit risk in connection with financial guarantees issued in respect of mortgage facilities arranged for certain buyers of the Target Group’s properties. The credit risk mainly represents potential losses that will be recognised upon default of repayments of these buyers to which the guarantees were given on behalf of. To mitigate such credit risk, the management continually monitors and has established relevant policies not limited to performing credit evaluations on those buyers. As if they breach their underlying mortgage facilities granted by those banks, the maximum exposures of credit risk in respect of such financial guarantees arrangement as at 31 December 2016, 2017, 2018 and 31 August 2019 are disclosed in Note 30.

There are no terms and conditions attached to any financial guarantee contracts that would have a material impact on the timing, uncertainty and amount of future cash flows of the Target Group during the Track Record Period.

Loss allowance calculation of trade receivables

The Target Group applies the simplified approach to measure the ECL of trade receivables under HKFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime ECL assessment. At the end of reporting period, the estimated ECL is immaterial to be recognised in the Historical Financial Information as set out in Note 16.

– II-43 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

Loss allowance calculations of other receivables, loan receivable and amounts due from related companies/intermediate holding company/fellow subsidiaries

For the loss allowance recognised or reserved for the balances of other receivables, loan receivable and amounts due from related companies, intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries during the Track Record Period are subject to 12-months ECL assessments as set out in Notes 16 and 20 respectively. The loss allowance calculations are limited to 12-months calculation classified as stage 1 of the ECL model given that there are limited exposures of individual balances assessed individually, which there have not been a significant increase in credit risks since its initial recognition and not credit-impaired at the end of each reporting periods. The calculations of ECLs are the portion of lifetime ECLs associated with the average probability of default events occurring within the next 12 months recognised or reversed in profit or loss.

As at 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016, 2017, 2018 and 31 August 2019, the average default rates of other receivables are approximately 1.3%, 1.2%, 0.2%, 0.1% and 0.1% respectively.

As at 31 August 2019, the default rate of loan receivable is approximately 2.7%.

As at 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018, the average default rates of amounts due from related companies are approximately 1.6%, 1.5% and 1.6% respectively.

The result of loss allowance calculation of amounts due from intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries are immaterial to be recognised during the Track Record Period.

None of the Target Group’s financial assets is secured by collateral or other credit enhancements.

(iii) Foreign currency risk

The foreign currency risk exposure against the Target Group is minimal as all of the transactions arising from the Target Group are carried out in RMB.

(iv) Liquidity risk

The Target Group is exposed to liquidity risk in respect of settlement of its financial liabilities and its cash flow management. The Target Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The Target Group had recorded net current liabilities and capital deficiency of approximately RMB891,968,000 and RMB694,671,000 as at 31 August 2019 respectively and the Target Company had recorded net current liabilities of approxiamtely RMB1,619,000 as at 31 August 2019. The liquidity of the Target Group and the Target Company is dependable on the continuing financial support to the Target Group and Target Company before the completion of the Proposed Acquisition from Mr. Yao. In addition, a trust loan facility up to RMB2 billion obtained from a recognised financial institution in the PRC is a liquidity cushion for operating cash flows, of which the trust loan facility is available to draw down. After the Proposed Acquisition, the Company has also confirmed upon the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, it has the ability and intention to maintain the going concern of the Target Group and the Target Company, on a need basis, for the foreseeable future. These measures can enable both Target Group and Target Company to meet its obligation and liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue day-to-day business operations as a going concern.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX II

The Target Group has not recognised the guarantees issued in respect of the mortgage facilities granted by certain banks relating to the mortgage loans arranged for certain buyers of the Target Group’s properties as disclosed in Note 30. The amounts included in the below table for financial guarantee contracts are the maximum amounts which the Target Group could be required to settle under the aforesaid arrangement for full amounts of guarantees provided as if these amounts are claimed by any counterparties related to the guarantees. Based on management expectations, they consider that it is more likely than no amount will be payable under guarantees arrangement (Note 27(ii)). However, this estimate is subject to change depending on the probability of the counterparty who will claim their losses and damages under the guarantees arrangement that the guaranteed financial receivables held by the counterparties who suffer credit losses.

The following tables show the remaining contractual maturities at each reporting date of the Target Group’s financial liabilities, based on undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date the Target Group can be required to pay.

30. FINANCIAL GUARANTEE CONTRACTS

The Target Group has issued guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks relating to mortgage loans arranged for certain buyers of the Target Group’s properties. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default in mortgage payments by these buyers, the Target Group is responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage principles together with accrued interest and penalty owed by the defaulted buyers to the banks and the Target Group is entitled to retain the legal title and take over the possession of the related properties. The guarantee are to be discharged upon the earlier of: (i) issue of the real estate ownership certificates which are generally available within three months after the buyers taking possession of the relevant properties; and (ii) the satisfaction of mortgaged loans by the property buyers.

As at 31 December 2016, 2017, 2018 and 31 August 2019, the outstanding guarantees amounted to approximately RMB355,848,000, RMB363,357,000, RMB 372,668,000 and RMB373,608,000 were provided. The management consider that in case of default in payments, the net realisable value of the related properties can cover the repayment of the outstanding mortgage principles together with the accrued interest and penalty and therefore no provision has been made in the Historical Financial Information as at 31 December 2016, 2017, 2018 and 31 August 2019 in respect of the guarantees provided.

In the opinion of the management, it is unlikely that any claims will be made against the Target Group and no cash outflow under the financial guarantee contracts at the end of reporting periods, as such the financial impact arising from those contracts is insignificant. Accordingly, they are not accounted for in the Target Group’s financial statements.

31. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

For the three years ended 31 December 2018, all revenue of the Target Group were contributed by Wuxianghu No. 1 Project, and no revenue was recognised in respect of the Wuxiang GFC Project.

The significant increase in revenue from 2017 to 2018 was directly caused by the sharp increase in number of units of properties sold from 19 commercial units in 2017 to 782 residential units and 50 commercial units in 2018. The revenue of the Target Group dropped from approximately RMB500 million for the eight months ended 31 August 2018 to approximately RMB8.9 million for the same period in 2019 because of the substantial decline in number of units of properties sold from 782 residential units and 19 commercial units in the first eight months in 2018 to only one residential unit and five commercial units in the first eight months in 2019.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX III

For the year ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and eight months ended 31 August 2019, the gross profit margin was 9%, 35%, 20% and 37% respectively. It was mainly contributed by the sales of properties for respective period. The lower gross profit margin for the year ended 31 December 2016 was due to lower selling price and higher cost of construction incurred in the early stage.

The Target Group held certain properties under construction in Nanning which were held for investment purpose. For the year ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and for the eight months period ended 31 August 2019, the Target Group recognized a fair value gain on investment properties amounted to approximately RMB192,033,000, RMB144,738,000, RMB4,321,000 and RMB3,371,000 respectively.

For the year ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and for the eight months period ended 31 August 2019, the corporate expenses (including selling, administrative and other expenses) incurred by the Target Group amounted to approximately RMB43,212,000, RMB255,737,000, RMB133,437,000 and RMB19,720,000 respectively. The decrease of corporate expenses for the eight months period ended 31 August 2019 was mainly attributable to the effective cost control measures by the Target Group and the non-existence of the one-off penalty charge due to the delay in handover of commercial properties in the PRC in 2018.

The Target Group recorded a net profit of approximately RMB103,752,000 for the year ended 31 December 2016, a net loss of approximately RMB137,643,000 and RMB52,812,000 for the year ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 and a net profit of approximately RMB136,104,000 for the eight month period ended 31 August 2019 respectively.

3. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

As at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019, the Target Group had bank and cash balance of approximately RMB122,184,000, RMB17,339,000, RMB19,820,000 and RMB12,604,000 respectively.

Total borrowings of Target Group as at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019 amounted to approximately RMB502,000,000, RMB202,000,000, RMB140,950,000 and RMB2,301,856,000 respectively, of which were denominated in RMB. The significant increase of the borrowing amount as at 31 August 2019 was mainly due to the grant of a long term non-interest bearing loan in the sum of approximately RMB2.3 billion to the Target Group. All loans bore fixed interest rates and exposed the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX III

As at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019, the Target Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB710,376,000, RMB1,377,246,000, RMB1,526,005,000 and RMB891,968,000 respectively. The net current liabilities of the Target Group was mainly attributable to short-term debts incurred to finance the real estate business. As at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019, the gearing ratio of the Target Group, which was calculated on the basis of the total borrowings divided by total equity as at the respective reporting date, was approximately 15.47, 1.19, 0.63 and 3.31 respectively.

4. CHARGES OF ASSETS

As at 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019, the Target Group had properties under development and properties held for sale and investment properties with a carrying amount of approximately, RMB214,029,000 and RMB105,903,000 respectively subject to pledge in favour of a bank to secure the borrowings in relation to the Target Group’s real estate business and to secure the general banking facility which allows Jinan Baoneng to borrow up to RMB450 million.

5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019, the members of the Target Group guaranteed the payment obligations of buyers under the mortgage loan for the purchase of property units sold by the Target Group. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default in mortgage payments by the buyer, the Target Group shall be responsible for paying the outstanding mortgage instalments and penalty owed by the defaulted buyers to the banks, and the Target Group is entitled to assume the legal title and take possession of the related mortgaged properties. The guarantees are to be discharged upon the earlier of (i) issue of the real estate ownership certificate which are generally available within three months after the buyers take possession of the relevant properties; and (ii) the satisfaction of mortgage loans by the property buyers.

The Board considers that in case of default in payments, the net realisable value of the related mortgaged properties can cover the repayment of the outstanding mortgage instalments and penalty. Hence, the Board considers that the contingent liabilities in respect of mortgage loans for the buyers is minimal and no provision has therefore been made in the financial statements for contingent liabilities, and the Target Group did not have any material contingent liabilities.

6. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

The Target Group has capital commitments of approximately RMB2,185,000,000, RMB1,831,000,000, RMB1,703,000,000 and RMB1,549,000,000 as at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 August 2019 respectively, all of which were in respect of contracted but not provided for capital expenditures on properties under development.

For the year ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2019, the total employee remuneration amounted to approximately RMB15,259,000, RMB17,104,000, RMB20,895,000 and RMB10,550,000 respectively.

8. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXPOSURE

Since the Target Group is operating in the PRC and all of its assets and liabilities were denominated in RMB, the currency risk of Target Group generated from fluctuation in exchange rate was remote.

9. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT, MATERIAL ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL

Reorganisation have been carried out by the Target Group by acquiring the entire equity of Guangxi Baohui and Guangxi Shengze subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2018.

On 23 April 2019, the Target Company acquired (i) the entire equity interest of Guangxi Baohui from the Seller for a consideration of RMB810,000,000 (equivalent to HK$899,100,000) and (ii) the entire equity interest of Guangxi Shengze from 創邦集團有限 公司 (Chuangbong Group Limited[#] ) for a consideration of RMB150,000,000 (equivalent to HK$166,500,000).

On 14 August 2019, Guangxi Shengze disposed of the entire equity interest of three subsidiaries namely, 桂林市寶能房地產開發有限公司 (Guilin Baoneng Real Estate Development Limited[#] ), 廣西寶能房地產開發有限公司 (Guangxi Baoneng Real Estate Development Limited[#] ) and 桂林市寶能投資有限公司 (Guilin Baoneng Investment Limited[#] ) to the Seller for the aggregate cash considerations of RMB30,000,000. The three subsidiaries were originally established for exploring business opportunities in Guilin, Guangxi Province. Since these subsidiaries had not been carrying on any solid business activities or owned any property development project, they were detached from the Target Group and sold to the Seller shortly before the Acquisition. The three former subsidiaries did not contribute significant amount of revenue prior to the disposal. Therefore, the disposal did not lead to the decrease in the Target Group’s revenue for the eight months ended 31 August 2019.

For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the amounts in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Target Group as of 30 June 2019 are converted into Hong Kong dollars using exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.11, being the closing exchange rate adopted by the Enlarged Group as at 30 June 2019, unless otherwise stated, for illustration purpose only and such exchange conversion does not constitute a representation that any amount has been, could has been, or may otherwise be exchanged or converted at the above rate.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX IV

  • (6) As the Group and the Target Group are controlled by Mr. Yao Jianhui and Mr. Yao Zhenhua as concert parties together before and after the Acquisition, the Group will account for the Acquisition as a business combination under common control using the principles of merger accounting in accordance with the Accounting Guideline 5 Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations (‘‘AG 5’’) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Under the principles of merger accounting, the consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statement items of the acquired entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs from the date when the acquired entities or businesses first come under the control of the controlling party. The net assets of the acquired entities or businesses are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities as a result of the common control combination. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the contribution of the controlling party’s interest. All differences between the cost of acquisition (fair value of consideration paid) and the amounts at which the assets and liabilities are recorded will be recognised directly in equity as part of the merger reserve. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

  • (7) In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the fair value of contingent liabilities of the Target Group would be insignificant for the recognition on this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

  • (8) Other than the above adjustments, no other adjustment had been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information to reflect any trading result or other transactions of the Enlarged Group and the Target Group entered into subsequent to 31 August 2019. Unless stated otherwise, the adjustment above are not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

The Board of Directors Glory Sun Land Group Limited Unit 2602, 26/F, Lippo Centre Tower 1 No. 89 Queensway Admiralty, Hong Kong

In accordance with the instructions of Glory Sun Land Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) to value the property interest (the ‘‘Properties’’) to be acquired by the Company located in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’), we confirm that we have made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Properties as at 31 August 2019 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’).

This letter, which forms part of our valuation report, explains the basis and methodology of valuation, clarifying assumptions and limiting conditions of this valuation.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the market value (‘‘Market Value’’) which we would define as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably prudently and without compulsion.

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

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

And the valuation for properties under development, we have valued them on the basis that they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided to us by the Company. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the development proposals have been or will be obtained without onerous conditions or delays. We have also assumed that the design and construction of the developments are in compliance with the local planning and other relevant regulations and have been or will be approved by the relevant authorities. In arriving at our valuations, we have adopted the direct comparison (market) approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the property market and have also taken into account the expended construction costs as well as the costs that will be expended to complete the developments.

Valuation Considerations

In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the International Valuation Standards 2017.

We have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the Properties. Our valuation is prepared on the assumptions that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the Properties or on adjoining or neighboring land or that the Properties had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of value.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Valuation of Shenzhen Baoneng Hengchuang Industrial Limited

In accordance with the instructions from Glory Sun Land Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’), we have been engaged by the Company to assist to determine the following subject of valuation as at 31 August 2019 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’). . Valuation of Shenzhen Baoneng Hengchuang Industrial Limited (the ‘‘Subject of Valuation’’) as at the Valuation Date for transaction reference purpose.

Our analyses are substantially based on the information provided to us by the existing management of the Company (the ‘‘Management’’). It is our understanding that our analyses, and the subsequent appraised estimation of Fair Value (as defined in the section Standard and Basis of Value), will be used by the Management solely for their purpose of transaction reference only. Our analyses were conducted for the above stated purpose. As such, this report should not be used by the Company for any other purpose other than those that are expressly stated herein without our expressed prior written consent.

Our work was subject to section Statement of Limiting Conditions as described till the end of this report. The basis of value follows the definition of Fair Value as stipulated in the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 13 (‘‘HKFRS 13’’)/International Financial Reporting Standard 13 (‘‘IFRS 13’’), premised on the Subject of Valuation being a ‘‘Highest and Best Use’’ basis.

The approaches and methodologies used in our work did not comprise an examination to ascertain whether the Company or the Subject of Valuation’s presented financial information were constructed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The objective of the aforesaid examination is of course to determine whether existing current financial statements or other financial information, historical or prospective, which are provided to us by the Management, are being expressed as a fair presentation of the Subject of Valuation’s financial condition. As such, we express no opinion and accept no responsibility on the

APPENDIX VI

accuracy and/or completeness of the historical and projected financial information of the Subject of Valuation, and of the marketing materials or other data provided to us by the Management.

Our conclusion on Fair Value do not constitute nor shall they be construed to be an investment advice or an offer to invest. Prior to making any decisions on any investments, a prospective investor should independently consult with their own investment, accounting, legal and tax advisers to critically evaluate the risks, consequences, and suitability of such investment.

SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF ENGAGEMENT

We were engaged by the Management to assist to determine the Fair Value of the Subject of Valuation as at the Valuation Date. It is our understanding that our analysis will be used by the management of the Company solely for their transaction reference only.

It is understood that the valuation report may be inserted in full in public document.

STANDARD AND BASIS OF VALUE

This valuation was prepared on the basis of Fair Value. In accordance with HKFRS 13 / IFRS 13, Fair Value is defined as 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. When appropriate, we might also make cross reference to the 2017 International Valuation Standards (‘‘2017 IVS’’) published by the International Valuation Standards Council. The 2017 IVS details the general guideline on the basis and valuation approaches used in valuation.

PREMISE OF VALUE

Premise of value relates to the concept of valuing a subject, i.e., a business, in a manner which would generate the greatest return to the owner, taking account what is physically tangible, financially feasible, and legally permissible. Premise of value includes the following scenarios:

  • . Highest and Best Use: is the use that would produce the highest and best use for an asset, and it must be financially feasible, legally allowed and result in the highest value;

  • . Current Use/Existing Use: is the current way an asset, liability, or group of assets and/or liabilities is used, maybe yet not necessarily the highest and best use;

  • . Orderly Liquidation: describes the value of a group of assets that could be realized in a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser/(s), with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis; and

– VI-2 –

EQUITY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

  • . Forced Sale: is in circumstances where a seller is under compulsion to sell and that, as a consequence, a proper marketing period is not possible and buyers may not be able to undertake adequate due diligence.

After having reviewed all background and financial information and taken into consideration all relevant facts, valuation of the Subject of Valuation should be prepared on a ‘‘Highest and Best Use’’ basis.

LEVEL OF VALUE

Current valuation theories suggest that there are at least three basics ‘‘levels’’ of value applicable to a business or business interest. The three most common levels of value are as follows:

  • . Controlling Interest: Value of the controlling interest, always evaluate an enterprise as a whole;

  • . As if Freely Tradable Minority Interest: Value of a minority interest, lacking control, but enjoys the benefit of market liquidity; and

  • . Non-marketable Minority Interest: Value of a minority interest, lacking both control and market liquidity.

After having reviewed all background and financial information and take into consideration all relevant and objective facts, we reasonably believe Subject of Valuation should be valued and reported in this valuation as a Controlling Interest.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

Our analysis and conclusion of opinion on value were based on continued discussions with, and having obtained pertinent key documents and records provided by the Management, and conducted certain procedures including but not limited to:

  • . Obtained consolidated management accounts of the Target Group for the period ended 31 August 2019;

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

To substantiate the economic background of the country where the Subject of Valuation is located at, we have reviewed the economic condition of China where the Subject of Valuation will derive its future income from.

GDP Growth in China

According to the current 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020), China aims on a sustainable and balanced development and expects to achieve a moderately prosperous society. Therefore, the economy growth is expected to shift into lower gear. In 2017, the real gross domestic products (‘‘GDP’’) annual growth rate and the inflation rate tended to become stable at 6.9% and 1.6% respectively. The GDP annual growth rate decreases to 6.6% in 2018 and is estimated to slightly decrease to 5.6% in the next five years, while the inflation rate rises to 2.2% in 2018 and is estimated to slightly increase to 3.0% in the next five years.

APPENDIX VI

Growth is estimated to have slowed in 2018, supported by resilient consumption. A rebound in private fixed investment helped offset a decline in public infrastructure and other state spending. However, industrial production and export growth have decelerated, reflecting easing global manufacturing activity. Import growth continued to outpace export growth, contributing to a shrinking current account surplus. Net capital outflows have resumed, and international reserves have been edging down. Stock prices and the renminbi have experienced continued downward pressures, and sovereign bond spreads have risen amid ongoing trade tensions and concerns about the growth outlook.

EQUITY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

Growth in China will remain strong but is projected to decline gradually as the Chinese government’s intention to ‘‘de-lever’’ the economy through controlling credit growth in order to maintain a healthy growth of the economy in long run. Nevertheless, supply-side structural reforms as well as regulatory tightening to mitigate environmental and financial remain definite drags on growth. External uncertainty risks including trade frictions with the U.S. persist and real estate activity continues to show significant variations nationwide, although property market prudential measures have so far tamed volatility.

Domestic demand is projected to remain robust aided by policies to boost consumption. Supportive fiscal and monetary policies undertaken or announced so far are expected to largely offset the negative impact of higher tariffs; however, additional stimulus may have the undesirable effect of slowing the deleveraging and de-risking process.

GDP PER CAPITA IN CHINA

The 13th Five-Year Plan adopted in 2016 mandated that China becomes a ‘‘moderately prosperous society’’ (xiaokang) and doubles its real GDP between 2010 and 2020. The disposable income level, one of the good measures, has grown significantly over the past few years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, annual disposable income per capita of urban households in China has increased from RMB26,467 in 2013 to RMB36,396 in 2017, representing a CAGR of approximately 8.3%; annual disposable income per capita of rural households has increased from RMB9,430 in 2013 to RMB13,462 in 2017, representing a CAGR approximate to 9.2%. In comparison to the inflationary figures, the annual inflation rate is between 1.6% and 2.6% during the period from 2013 to 2017.Hence, the living standard of Chinese people saw an overall improvement from 2013 to 2017.

China’s one-child policy starting from 1979 has slowed down the birth rate, but the side effect of the policy starts to take effect in the current decade. The number of elderly people is rising and this age group is forecasted to grow in the next few decades while the number of children aged from 0 to 14 years old fluctuated around 223 million. The Government has realized this trend and introduced two-child policy since October 2015. As a result, the number of the 0-to-14-years-olds enjoys a slight rise of 233 million in 2017, with the CAGR of –0.83%.

Government Policy

The 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020) is the main target as for the period, which aims at:

  • 1) maintaining modest economy growth on a balanced, inclusive and sustainable basis, targeting to double GDP and per capita income of urban and rural residents comparing to 2010 by 2020;

  • 2) upgrading the industry towards high-end level accompanied with contributions of consumption to economic growth accounting more, and improving the urbanization rate to a higher level;

  • 3) Enhancing agricultural modernization, improving people’s living standards and quality, and helping the rural poor population out of poverty;

  • 4) improving overall national quality, ecological environment quality and social civilization significantly; and

  • 5) implementing a more mature and stereotyped political system and achieving significant progress in national governance systems and governance capacity modernization.

The National People’s Congress (NPC) begins every year with the presentation of the Government Work Report by the Premier. This year, Premier Li Keqiang emphasized the three tough battles of 2018 (risks, poverty and pollution) and presented the objectives for the year to come. The growth target is set to around +6.5% YoY (compared to previous years when it was ‘‘6.5% or better if possible’’) and the budgetary deficit is set to be reduced to 2.6% of GDP (compared to 3% previously). Moreover, Premier Li announced VAT cuts of RMB800 billion in order to boost the competitiveness of the Chinese private sector.

In addition to various numerical targets, the NPC unveiled appointments of senior officials such as Yi Gang as People’s Bank of China (PBoC) Governor and Liu He as VicePremier as well as an impressive restructuration plan. This plan includes the merger of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) with the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) and a reorganization of authorities supervising the financial sector. The Financial Stability and Development Commission (FSDC), created in the summer of 2017, will play the coordinating role and oversee PBoC, which will take care of macro-prudential supervision and the draft of regulations while the regulatory commissions will be tasked with execution.

The wide restructuration saw the dissolution and creation of various ministries such as the Ministry of Agriculture, which became the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) lost many of its functions to other ministries. Restructuration aside, a number of new administrations and agencies are being set up including the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). The SAMR will take over the duties of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC), the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). The State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) received an extended portfolio with responsibilities for trademarks and geographical indicators and will be under the umbrella of the SAMR. However, restructuration will take time to unfold and many details remain to be clarified.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Home price rises have been slowing in China´s biggest cities in the past two years but they are still picking up in the regional centres. Based on the figures from the National Bureau of Statistics of China(‘‘NBS’’), the average price of new dwellings in China´s 70 cities rose by 10.78% year-over-year in June 2019. Recent price growth nationally was even faster than six months ago as 2018 ended with a house price rise of 9.7% year-over-year in December 2018. Based on the survey from National Bureau of Statistics, in June 2019, new home prices went up in 63 out of the total 70 cities, down from 67 cities in May. Most of the price gains were felt in the second and third-tier cities, while the four top-tiered cities had weaker price growth, with an average increase of 0.2% on the previous month.

As the capital of South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the real estate market of Nanning has been developing rapidly in the past two years, and the effect of inventory clearance has been remarkable. In 2014, Nanning has become the first city to relax its home purchase restrictions, underlining the local government’s desire to boost demand amid the cooling property market. Residents with a household registration in the nearby cities of Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang and Chongzuo will be allowed to buy property in Nanning.

In 2017, the average price of the residential housing in Nanning exceeded RMB10,000/ sqm for the first time. According to the latest data from Nanning Bureau of Housing Management, housing prices in all districts has been exceeded RMB10,000/sqm except for the Jiangnan district.

The volume and price of residential property have steadily risen, but the volume of land transactions has declined year by year, and the price of land transactions has also slowed down.

Household debt is now the main driver of aggregate loan growth in China, with an average growth of 27% annually over the past three years. Such debt outpaced corporate borrowing in early 2018. As of 2018, China´s household debt was at 52.6% of GDP, an increase of more than 30 percentage points over the last decade, based on figures from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Residential mortgage loans accounted for 59% of the country´s total household debt in June 2018.

The central bank intensified its house price curbing measures in March 2017, by releasing new credit policy guidelines for commercial banks to reign the pace of mortgage loan issuance among other things, as well as to adjust credit policies which would control the flow of bank credit to the real estate sector.

In September 2017, eight cities including Changsha, Chongqing, Guiyang, Nanchang, Nanning, Shijiazhuang, Xi´an, and Wuhan reportedly imposed new house purchase controls, most of which include banning home resale two to three years after purchase. The housing market curbing measures continue in 2018. Local governments in lower-tier cities also started

rolling out stricter restrictions in mortgage ratios, pre-sale pricing and sales, adhering the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development´s call on not loosening regulatory measures and sticking to the real estate management goals.

The continuous implementation of tighter policies has resulted in slower growth of real estate mortgage loans. By end of 2018, outstanding loans to the real estate sector had grown by 20% year-over-year to RMB38.7 trillion, 0.9% slower from the previous year´s growth, according to the People´s Bank of China´s Monetary Policy Report for Q4 2018. Outstanding individual mortgage loans were up by 17.8% as of December 2018, down by 4.4% from end2017´s growth.

In early 2019, some local governments loosened their home purchase restrictions in order to boost economic activity. However, the Chinese regulator China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission was recently reported to launch a special inspection on 75 banks in 30 cities to detect violations by institutions in lending to home buyers and developers, as part of the country´s campaign in curbing housing market speculations.

JINAN BAONENG REAL ESTATE COMPANY LIMITED

Jinan Baoneng Real Estate Company Limited (‘‘Jinan Baoneng’’) is a company incorporated in the PRC and an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW

The valuation of any asset can be broadly classified into one of the three approaches, namely the cost approach, the market approach and the income approach. In any valuation analysis, all three approaches must be considered, and the approach or approaches deemed most relevant will then be selected for use in the analysis of that asset.

Cost Approach

The cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain a business, business ownership interest, security, or intangible asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.

Market Approach

The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing a business, business ownership interest, security, or intangible asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) subjects for which price information is available.

Value is established based on the principle of comparison. This simply means that if one thing is similar to another and could be used for the other, then they must be similar. Furthermore, the price of two alike and similar items should be approximates to one another.

Income Approach

This is a general way of determining the economic value of a business, business ownership interest, security, or intangible asset by using one or more methods that convert anticipated benefits into a present value amount.

In the income approach, an economic benefit stream of the asset under analysis is selected, usually based on historical and/or forecasted cash flow. The focus is to determine a benefit stream that is reasonably reflective of the asset’s most likely future benefit stream. This selected benefit stream is then discounted to present value with an appropriate riskadjusted discount rate. Discount rate factors often include general market rates of return at the Valuation Date, business risks associated with the industry in which the Subject of Valuation operates, and other risks specific to the asset being valued.

GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS

A number of general assumptions were established to sufficiently support our conclusion of valuation. The general assumptions adopted in this valuation are:

  • . There are no changes, the aggregate of which when viewed together, may be construed to be a material adverse change in the existing political, legal, commercial and banking regulations, fiscal policies, foreign trade and economic conditions in countries/regions where the Subject of Valuation currently operates in and in new markets that the Subject of Valuation may potentially expand into as proposed by Management;

  • . There are no deviations, the aggregate of which when viewed together, may be construed to be a material adverse change in industry demand and/or market conditions;

  • . There are no changes, the aggregate of which when viewed together, may be construed to be a material adverse change in the fluctuation of interest rates or currency exchange rates in any country which would be deemed to have a negative impact or the ability to hinder the existing and/or potentially future operations of the Subject of Valuation;

  • . There are no changes, the aggregate of which when viewed together, may be construed to be a material adverse change in the current laws of taxation in those countries in which the Subject of Valuation operates in or the Subject of Valuation may potentially operate in;

  • . All relevant legal approvals, business certificates, trade and import permits, bank credit approval have been procured, in place and in good standing prior to commencement of operations by the Subject of Valuation under the normal course of business;

  • . Revenue projections and future business potential generated from the Subject of Valuation are expected to largely conform to those as forecasted by the Management;

  • . The Subject of Valuation will be able to retain existing and competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to support all facets of the ongoing business and future operations; and

  • . Trademarks, patents, technology, copyrights and other valuable technical and management knowhow will not be infringed in countries/regions where the Subject of Valuation is or will be carrying on business.

APPENDIX VI

APPLICATION OF COST APPROACH

Methodology

The cost approach is based on the economic principle of substitution; it essentially measures what is the net asset value as at the Valuation Date and how much it would cost to replace those assets and/or add the value of the component assets together to reach the value of the subject asset. In this valuation, all assets and liabilities on the financial accounts of the Subject of Valuation were included.

Summation Method

The summation method, also referred to as the underlying asset method, is typically used for investment companies or other types of assets or entities for which value is primarily a factor of the values of their holdings. The key steps in the summation method are: (a) value each of the component assets that are part of the subject asset using the appropriate valuation approaches and methods, and (b) add the value of the component assets together to reach the value of the subject asset.

In this valuation, as the major asset of the Subject of Valuation is the inventories and investment properties and there are no other major business operations other than property sales and lease rental of the investment properties, we considered that the sum of the value of individual assets and liabilities on book could represent the value of the Subject of Valuation and applied summation method.

APPENDIX VI

Assumption Notes:

  1. The inventories of the Target Group comprise of properties under development and properties held for sale. The book value of the inventories and investment properties of Guangxi Baohui and Guangxi Shengze are adjusted to market value as at the Valuation Date. For details of the methodology and assumptions adopted, please refer to Appendix V Property Valuation Report.

  2. Guangxi Baohui had drawn down the first tranche of borrowing of RMB163 million pursuant to terms and conditions of trust loan agreement dated 26 April 2019 entered into between Everbright Xinglong Trust Company Limited and Guangxi Baohui.

  3. Pursuant to the property mortgage agreement entered into between Everbright Xinglong Trust Company Limited (the ‘‘Lender’’) and Jinan Baoneng, Guanxi Shengze acted as the security provider to secure the mortgage, Guangxi Shengze in turn provided a financial guarantee to Jinan Baoneng. The financial guarantee is fair valued as at the Valuation Date. For details of methodology and assumptions adopted, please refer to the following sections.

  4. The deferred tax liabilities arise from the asset write-up of the inventories and investment properties because of respective valuation gains. Statutory tax rate of 25% in the PRC is applied to determine the deferred tax liabilities for illustrative purpose only.

  5. Since the major assets and liabilities of the Target Group is related to the property which are marked to market value as at the Valuation Date, only 3% discount for lack of marketability is considered. For details of DLOM, please refer to section ‘‘Discount for Lack of Marketability’’.

  6. The loan receivable is a loan received from third party in 5 years without interest. It is discounted to present value by credit adjusted discount rate.

– VI-20 –

EQUITY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

DISCOUNT FOR LACK OF MARKETABILITY

A Discount for Lack of Marketability (‘‘DLOM’’) reflects the concept that when comparing otherwise identical assets, a readily marketable asset would have a higher value than an asset with a long marketing period or restrictions on the ability to sell the asset. For example, publicly-traded securities can be bought and sold nearly instantaneously while shares in a private company may require a significant amount of time to identify potential buyers and complete a transaction. Many bases of value allow the consideration of restrictions on marketability that are inherent in the subject asset but prohibit consideration of marketability restrictions that are specific to a particular owner. DLOMs may be quantified using any reasonable method, but are typically calculated using option pricing models, studies that compare the value of publicly-traded shares and restricted shares in the same company, or studies that compare the value of shares in a company before and after an initial public offering.

FINANCIAL GUARANTEE OVERVIEW

As at 25 May 2019, a property mortgage (‘‘Property Mortgage’’) was given by Guangxi Shengze in favour of Everbright to secure the indebtedness of Jinan Baoneng under the repayment agreement entered into between Everbright and Jinan Baoneng. Pursuant to terms of the Property Mortgage, Guangxi Shengze provided guarantee with certain units of construction in progress of Wuxiang GFC Project as collateral. This in terms results in contingent guarantee liabilities (‘‘Financial Guarantee’’) to Guangxi Shengze if Jinan Baoneng fails to repay the Property Mortgage. The characteristics of the Financial Guarantee are presented as follows:

Lender Everbright Xinglong Trust Co., Ltd.
Borrower Jinan Baoneng Real Estate Co., Ltd.
Collateral Provider Guangxi Shengze Investment Co., Ltd.
Inception Date 27 May 2019
Expected Repayment Date 31 December 2020
Property Mortgage Amount (RMB) 450,000,000
Collateral Value (RMB)*
Exposure At Default (RMB) 450,000,000

Note*: Regarding the collateral under the Property Mortgage, it is owned by Guangxi Shengze, thus it is not considered as an effective collateral to reduce the exposure amount to Guangxi Shengze.

Pursuant to terms of the Property Mortgage, Seller also provided guarantee to the Property Mortgage besides Guangxi Shengze. As at 29 September 2019, in order to reduce financial impact on Guangxi Shengze, Seller had undertaken to repay the guarantee liabilities of the Property Mortgage at the first order and promised not to cause any loss to Guangxi Shengze.

EQUITY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

VALUATION METHODOLOGY OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE

Principle of Calculation

The calculation formula for fair value of the Financial Guarantee is presented as follows:

Fair Value = EAD × PD × (1-RR) × Discount Factor

Where: EAD = Exposure at default PD = Probability of default RR = Recovery rate

  • . Exposure at default (‘‘EAD’’) is the total value that a party is exposed to when a counter-party defaults. Default is considered as failure to meet repayment or debt obligations.

  • . Probability of default (‘‘PD’’) is the likelihood of a counter-party default during a particular time period.

  • . Recovery rate (‘‘RR’’) is the percentage of contractual claims that would be recovered if the counter-party defaults.

  • . Discount Factor applies risk free rate to discount the future loss into present value

Financial Ratio Analysis

Financial metrics critical to credit assessment are analysed and benchmarked against the metrics of bond issuers with different rating category to estimate the financial health of the subject company. An estimated rating or rating category is assigned.

Benchmarking Empirical Data

Based on the estimated rating or rating category assigned, we estimate the respective default rates and recovery rates by making reference to empirical default studies published by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.

MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE

Credit Assessment

We have performed credit assessment by making reference to financial metrics by rating issued by Moody’s. As the Seller has undertaken the guarantee liabilities at the first order, the lower of the estimated rating between Jinan Baoneng and the Seller would be adopted in valuation. After an estimated rating is assigned, the default rates and recovery rates are derived with respect to the estimated rating and tenor of the underlying contingent liabilities.

– VI-22 –

EQUITY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

When estimating the exposure at default, we have assumed that the default or nonperformance would occur in the middle of the guarantee period. Loss given default is calculated by exposure at default multiplied by 1-recovery rate. Risk free rate is then used for discounting the loss given default to present value.

Financial ratios analysis Credit scoring has been performed covering key financial metrics for credit analysis such as EBITA, EBITDA, free operating cash flow, debt level and operating margin. The financial ratios calculated benchmarked against the credit research papers of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (‘‘S&P’’), two prominent global credit rating agencies. Adopted Cumulative Default Rate 0.24% (‘‘PD’’) Recovery Rate (‘‘RR’’) 44.20% Loss Rate – PD x (1 – RR) 0.24%*(1–44.20%) = 0.14% (rounded)

It should be noted that our credit assessment is not a complete credit rating process. We are not expressing any opinion in credit rating during our assessment process. The assessment mainly focuses on benchmarking the key financial metrics of Jinan Baoneng and the Seller against the average financial metrics of Moody’s and S&P rated companies to estimate a default rate and recover rate applicable in this case.

Expected Discount
Loss Discount Factor
Exposure (EAD x Period Risk-free (DF)
At Default (EAD) Loss Rate Loss Rate) (T) (Rf) (1/(1+Rf)T)
RMB450,000,000 0.14% 612,155 0.67 1.712% 0.988734

Fair Value of the Financial Guarantee = Expected Loss x DF = RMB612,155 x 0.988734 = RMB605,258

  • Numbers may not correspond with the product of separate figures due to rounding.
