The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with, among other things, further details of the Resumption Compensation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and other information as required under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE RESUMPTION COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

Date

26 November 2021 (after trading hours)

Parties

  • (1) the Local Authority; and

  • (2) Shenyang Baoxin, an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquires, at the Latest Practicable Date, the Local Authority is a government authority in Tiexi District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, the PRC, both the Local Authority and its ultimate beneficial owner are Independent Third Parties.

Assets to be resumed

Pursuant to the Resumption Compensation Agreement, among other things, the Local Authority agrees to compensate Shenyang Baoxin an amount of RMB320,496,330 (equivalent to approximately HK$391,005,523) for resuming the Target Land together with the Property.

The Target Land is for commercial use and situated at No. 34, Shenxin East Road, Tiexi District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, the PRC[#] (中國遼寧省瀋陽市鐵西區瀋新東路34號), which has a site area of approximately 10,918 square meters. The Property has a gross floor area of approximately 37,839 square meters and is currently vacant.

For the purpose of carrying out the implementation of urban planning in Tiexi District, it is expected that the Local Authority will demolish the Property using the available public funds and the Target Land will be redesigned for future development purposes (the “ New Target Land ”). The Local Authority plans to put up the New Target Land for sale through Public Auction after the completion of the Land Resumption and the leveling works on the Target Land.

Compensation and payment terms

The Compensation in relation to the Land Resumption is RMB320,496,330 (equivalent to approximately HK$391,005,523), comprising the aggregate amount for (i) the land use rights of the Target Land; and (ii) the construction erected on the Target Land (i.e. the Property).

The Local Authority plans to put up the New Target Land for sale by way of Public Auction after the completion of the Land Resumption and the leveling works on the Target Land. The Compensation will be payable in full in cash by the Local Authority to Shenyang Baoxin after a new owner has acquired the New Target Land through the Public Auction. The payment of the Compensation is subject to the completion of the acquisition of the New Target Land and will be

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

made within forty-five (45) Business Days after such new owner has paid the full amount of the consideration in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement of the New Target Land to be entered into between such new owner and the Local Authority.

The Compensation for the Land Resumption was agreed between the Local Authority and Shengyang Baoxin after arm’s length negotiation with reference to (i) the unaudited carrying value of the Target Land and the Property of approximately RMB292.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$357.3 million) as at 30 June 2021; (ii) the appraised market value of the Target Land and the Property of RMB320,496,330 (equivalent to approximately HK$391,005,523) according to the valuation by an independent PRC valuer appointed by the Local Authority; (iii) the preliminary valuation of the Target Land and the Property of approximately RMB292.3 million as at 31 October 2021 (equivalent to approximately HK$356.6 million) according to the valuation by the Independent Valuer appointed by the Company, the agreed Property Valuation Report in compliance with the requirements under Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II of this circular; and (iv) the laws, regulations and procedures applicable to resumption of state-owned land in Tiexi District, Shenyang, the PRC.

As the disposal of the New Target Land to any potential new buyer by the Local Authority will be driven by the Local Authority through the Public Auction after the levelling works, the timing of such disposal largely depends on the relevant initiatives and policies of the Local Authority from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best understanding of the Company and Shenyang Baoxin, the Local Authority has not yet made any public announcement in relation to the tentative time schedule for the redevelopment or the Public Auction of the Target Land. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no specific timeline offered by the Local Authority for any of (a) the date of the Public Auction; (b) the completion of acquisition of the New Target Land by a new owner; (c) the payment in full of the consideration of the New Target Land by such new owner; and (d) the payment of the Compensation by the Local Authority to Shenyang Baoxin; and thus the Company does not have a concrete view on the expected time table with respect to the payment of the Compensation under the Land Resumption by the Local Authority.

Pursuant to The Regulation on the Expropriation of Buildings on State-owned Land and Compensation[#] (國有土地上房屋徵收與補償條例) promulgated by the State Council of PRC in 2011 (the “ Regulation ”), the people’s government at the city and county level shall make a decision to expropriate the building when it is necessary for the rebuilding of an old urban area where dilapidated buildings concentrate and infrastructure lags behind as organized and implemented by the government according to the relevant provisions of the Urban and Rural Planning Law. Article 13 of the Regulation further provides that where any property has been expropriated according to the law, the state-owned land use rights shall be retracted at the same time.

According to the Resumption Compensation Agreement, the Immovable Property Certificate[#] (不動產權證書) in respect of the Property and the Target Land (the “ Immovable Property Certificate ”) was delivered to the Local Authority on 26 November 2021.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subsequently, the Local Authority will arrange to file the corresponding application for the cancellation of such Immovable Property Certificate and then proceed to commence the demolishment of the Property and the leveling works on the Target Land. Pursuant to the Resumption Compensation Agreement, upon the signing of the Resumption Compensation Agreement and by surrendering the Immovable Property Certificate to the Local Authority, the land use rights in respect of the Property together with the Target Land has been retracted. Subject to the cancellation of such Immovable Property Certificate by the Local Authority, the Company will no longer retain the ownership of the Target Land and the Property. There is no condition precedent attached to the Land Resumption pursuant to the Resumption Compensation Agreement, and the completion of the disposal of the Target Land and the Property under the Land Resumption took place on the date of the Resumption Compensation Agreement (i.e. 26 November 2021).

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE LAND RESUMPTION

The Local Authority has advised the Company that the Target Land and the Property were situated within parcels of land that are subject to resumption, following the Local Authority’s recent policy of renewing the old urban area.

The Property located at the Target Land was built around 1992 and currently generates no rental revenue. As disclosed in 2019 Interim Report of the Company, on 31 May 2019, the Group completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Karsen International Limited for a cash consideration of HK$60,000,000 (the “ Cash Consideration ”), which held the entire equity interest in Shenyang Baoxin where Shenyang Baoxin has been the legal and beneficial owner of the Property and for property investment purpose. Subsequently, as a result of the capital injection made by a third-party investor, and upon the completion of the Deemed Disposal as well as at the date of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has been interested in 85% equity interest of Shenyang Baoxin. Since the completion of the Deemed Disposal, the Company has made no further investment on the Property and the Target Land in addition to the Cash Consideration.

Prior to the Land Resumption, portions of the Property were leased for commercial use. However, due to aging of the Property, the Property has yielded limited rental income for the Group and since July 2021, the Property has being vacant completely. It is considered by the Board that the Resumption Compensation Agreement has offered the Group a fair compensation to unlock the value of its investment in the Target Land and the Property at a reasonable price in order to realize cash resources and to enhance the liquidity and strengthening the financial position of the Group. The Land Resumption will also offer a good business opportunity for the Group to participate in the Public Auction for the future re-development of the New Target Land if the bidding terms are considered commercially viable and attractive by the Company.

As disclosed in the 2021 Interim Report, the Group currently owns multiple real estate development projects in the PRC, engages in the trading of commodity and undertakes cultural development businesses, the Directors are of the view that the disposal of the Target Land and the Property does not have any material adverse effect on the Group’s business operation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (including the independent non-executive directors of the Company) consider that the terms of the Resumption Compensation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL AND PROPOSED USE OF PROCEEDS

As at 30 June 2021, the unaudited carrying value of the Target Land and the Property was approximately RMB292.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$357.3 million). Based on the Property Valuation Report contained in this circular, valuation of the Target and the Property has been HK$292.3 million. For the two years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020, the rental income attributable to the Property was approximately RMB5.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$6.3 million) and RMB2.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.2 million) respectively.

The net profits/(losses) (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) attributable to the Property for the last two financial years are as below:

Net Profits/(losses)
Before taxation and extraordinary items 222,000 (6,848,000)
After taxation and extraordinary items 222,000 (6,848,000)

The Land Resumption is expected to enable the Company to recognize an unaudited gain of approximately RMB27.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$33.7 million), being the difference between the Compensation over the above-mentioned carrying value of the Target Land and the Property before any expenses and tax. Actual gain in relation to the Land Resumption is subject to assessment and audit upon completion of the Land Resumption.

In the event that the New Target Land is taken up by a third party in the Public Auction, the net proceeds from the Land Resumption after deducting the relevant costs and expenses (before tax), estimated to be approximately RMB320.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$390.5 million), will mainly be utilised to repay the outstanding debts of the Group, so as to enhance the liquidity and working capital of the Group.

As at 30 November 2021, guarantees by the subsidiaries of the Company amounting to approximately RMB585,577,005 (equivalent to approximately HK$710,890,484) are given to banks with respect to mortgaged loans procured by the purchasers of the Group’s properties.

Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default in mortgage payments by such purchasers, the Group will be responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage principals together with accrued interest and penalty owed by the defaulted purchasers to the banks and the Group is entitled to take over the legal title and possession of the related properties.

Save as aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, as at the close of business on 30 November 2021, the Group had no other: (i) debt securities issued and outstanding, and authorised or otherwise created but unissued and 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. WORKING CAPITAL SUFFICIENCY

In order to reduce the Group’s highly indebted position and enhance its liquidity, the Board has made continuous devoted effort to resolve the liquidity issue, including but not limited to realising part of its property projects. The Group entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement and its subsequent supplemental equity transfer agreements and successfully disposed the Nanning Real Estate Development Projects and Shenyang Real Estate Development Project (the “ Disposal ”) before the end of 2021, which enhanced the cashflow and gearing position of the Group. As discussed in the Letter from the Board, entering into the Resumption Compensation Agreement also aligned with the overall strategy of the Company to improve the liquidity of the Group.

The Directors have reviewed the Group’s cash flow projections which covered a period of at least twelve months from the date of this circular. The Directors, after due and careful enquiry and after taking into account the relief of substantial financial burden as result of the completion of the Disposal and the financial resources available to the Group, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows to be generated from the operating and financing activities which is dependent on the outcome of the following assumptions (which are subject to multiple uncertainties), are of the opinion that the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present operating requirements and to repay its financial obligations as and when they fall due for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances:

  • (a) the timing and amount of receipt of the proceeds from the pre-sale of properties as planned; and

– I-3 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  • (b) successfully obtaining refinancing and/or new financial resources, including but not limited to the existing facility upon maturity, unutilised and/or new facilities advanced from the existing third-party lenders of the Group and the connected parties of the Company so as to enable the Group to have adequate working capital within 12 months from the date of this circular and to repay its matured and maturing debts and finance the Group’s operations from time to time.

In the unlikely event that the Group is unable to successfully accomplish the assumptions as mentioned above, the Group may not have sufficient working capital for the next twelve months from the date of this circular; and under such circumstances, the Board will continue to seek other financing alternatives to finance its working capital, including the loans or advances to be further made by its substantial Shareholders.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is mainly engaged in real estate development and property investment in the PRC. As mentioned in the Company’s 2021 interim results announcement dated 26 August 2021, the overall capital funding trend in the PRC real estate development industry has been becoming more and more tight due to the gradual emergence of adverse impacts from those strict regulatory policies such as “Three Red Lines” and bank credit red lines. In addition, faced with the radical downturn in the PRC real estate market starting from the second half of 2021, both the selling volume and prices in respect of the residential property units have dropped significantly.

The overall property market environment in the PRC is expected to remain extremely challenging in the short to medium term. The adverse impacts to economies brought by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the uncertainties arising from the escalating trade tensions between the PRC and the United States of America, and the obstacles attributable to the aforesaid strict regulatory measures on the financing activities with respect to the property development sector by the PRC governing authorities are all expected to continually cause substantial pressure on the Group’s businesses. In such turbulent time, the Group will adhere to a fairly prudent approach to manage its business and strategies by closely monitoring the market sentiment, evaluating its business and opportunities on hand, and making appropriate adjustments accordingly.

In order to improve the Group’s liquidity and financial position, the Group has been undertaking measures including speeding up the disposal of real estate projects and high-quality assets. Besides, the Group will also continue to actively seek alternative funding sources to manage liquidity as well as to enhance its financial flexibility with a view to mitigate market uncertainties brought on by unexpected changes in operating conditions and external factors.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

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.

3. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Direct comparison method is adopted based on the principle of substitution, where comparison is made based on prices realized on actual sales and/or asking prices of comparable properties. Comparable properties of similar size, scale, nature, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value.

In valuing the Properties, 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 2020.
