4. BASIS OF DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION UNDER THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT

The consideration under the Equity Transfer Agreement was determined based on negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser on arm’s length basis taking into account (i) the fair value of the entire equity interest of the Target Company as at 30 April 2024 of approximately RMB117.6 million according to the valuation report prepared by an independent property valuer on the assetbased approach (covering all assets and related liabilities of the Target Company) (the “ Valuation ”), among others, the valuation of Target Property and the right of use of the Land based on the income approach, summary of the Valuation is set out in Appendix I to this Circular; and (ii) the prevailing market conditions.

In arriving at its appraisal result, the independent valuer had, among others, assumed that:

  • (1) all assets to be evaluated are already in the process of being transacted. The independent valuer will conduct the valuation based on the transaction conditions and models of the assets to be evaluated;

  • (2) open market assumption: (i) there is a willing buyer and a willing seller and the status of them are equal; (ii) both the buyer and the seller have sufficient market information, opportunities, and time, and the transaction is conducted voluntarily and rationally without any coercion or restrictions; (iii) the assets evaluated can be freely transferred in the open market; and (iv) there are no additional bids paid by special buyers;

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (3) the evaluated assets will continue to operate after the valuation benchmark date and that its business activities will not cease or terminate within the foreseeable future;

  • (4) the value of any asset is directly related to the macroeconomic environment in which it is located. In this appraisal, the independent valuer assumes that the society’s industrial policy, tax policy and macroeconomic environment remain relatively stable, so as to ensure that the appraisal results have a reasonable period of use; and

  • (5) interest rates and exchange rates are maintained at current levels with no major changes.

The Board is of the view that the scope, methodologies and assumptions adopted by the independent valuer in respect of the equity interests in the Target Company are fair and reasonable.

The Group’s business mainly concentrates in the eastern part of the PRC, which acts as the axis for expanding into the southern, central and northern parts of the PRC and also the northeast and northwest regions, thus, covering the majority of the mainstream market for luxury and ultra-luxury automobiles in the PRC as of now.

9. REASONS FOR DISPOSAL

Currently, the Group leases out some of the floors of the Target Property owned by the Target Company for rent collection, but the overall asset return rate is relatively low with a low occupancy rate. Through the disposal of the Target Property, the Group hopes to improve the efficiency of asset usage, reasonably allocate and manage corporate assets, and focus on developing core business to achieve economic benefits and sustainable development under the backdrop of the current complex external environment.

Having made prudent assessments on the above and considered the prevailing market conditions, the Directors are of the view that it would be beneficial for the Company and its stakeholders (including its Shareholders) as a whole to pursue the Disposal and generate liquidity for the Group.

The terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto and the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

10. FINANCIAL EFFECT AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the Disposal will be used to supplement working capital as to approximately RMB100.0 million for repayment of existing bank loans and the remaining RMB33.0 million as general working capital to be used primarily for the payment of staff costs.

Earnings

Upon completion of the Disposal, the Group's consolidated statement of profit or loss will record a gain of approximately RMB80.0 million in terms of other income and gains, being the difference between (i) the Consideration of approximately RMB133.0 million; (ii) the unaudited carrying value of the net assets of Target Company of approximately RMB53.0 million as at 31 December 2023. The actual gain or loss as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by the Group is subject to book value of the Target Company accounted for in the financial statements of the Group upon completion of the Disposal, and may therefore be different from the above amount.

Assets and liabilities

Upon Completion, the Group currently expects to record (i) a decrease of net assets of approximately RMB53.0 million, being the unaudited carrying value of the net assets of the Target Company as at 31 December 2023; and (ii) an increase in current assets (i.e. being a net off of RMB133.0 million in cash as the consideration received from the Disposal less the current assets of the Target Company which is approximately RMB27,809,637.37) of approximately RMB105.2 million.

Based on the preliminary assessment, the assets and liabilities of the Target Company amounted to RMB268.3 million and RMB215.3 million will be derecognized from the consolidated financial statements of the Group based on the financial information of the Target Company as at 31 December 2023 and therefore resulting in a decrease in net asset of approximately RMB53.0 million.

Shareholders and potential investors should note that the financial impact set out above is for illustrative purposes only, which will have to be ascertained at the time of preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with reference to, among other things, the actual earnings and effect on the balance sheet of the Group, is subject to audit.

11. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal is more than 25% but are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholder’s approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, Shareholders’ approval may be obtained by written Shareholders’ approval in lieu of convening a general meeting if (a) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (b) the written approval has

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

been obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company having the right to attend and vote at the general meeting to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

As at the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

On 12 August 2024 (i.e. the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement), the Company has obtained a written approval from China Grand Auto (Hong Kong), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGA and a controlling shareholder of the Company interested in 1,945,334,071 shares of the Company (representing approximately 68.56% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Latest Practicable Date). Accordingly, no Shareholders’ meeting will be convened by the Company to approve the Disposal.

The net carrying amount of the Target Property as at 31 December 2023 as recognised in the audited consolidated accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 amounted to RMB227.3 million. As the net carrying amount of the Target Property is below 1% of the Group’s total assets, the circular is not required to include a property valuation report of the Target Company and/or the Target Property according to Rule 5.02A(5) of the Listing Rules.

Completion is conditional upon fulfillment of the conditions precedent set out in the Equity Transfer Agreement. There is no assurance that Completion will take place or as to when it may take place. Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

12. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including all of the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are (i) fair and reasonable; (ii) on normal commercial terms; and (iii) in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, although, as explained above, no general meeting of the Company will be convened for the purpose of approving the Equity Transfer Agreement, if a general meeting were to be convened, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favor of the Equity Transfer Agreement at such general meeting. The above recommendation is for the Shareholders’ reference only.

  7. Supporting materials collected by appraisal professionals for asset verification, investigation, testing, and analysis.

5. Appraisal methods

The basic methods of overall asset appraisal include asset-based method, income method and market method. The asset appraiser analysed the applicability of the three basic asset appraisal methods based on relevant conditions such as the appraised target, value type, and data collection.

(1) Asset-based method

The asset-based method refers to the appraisal methodology of using the balance sheet of the appraised entity on the appraisal base date as the basis for assessing the value of identifiable assets and liabilities on and off the enterprise’s balance sheet and determining the value of the appraised entity by the net assets. The asset-based method is more applicable when the coordination of the various elements of the enterprise’s assets has not reached an optimal state, and no or little combination effect or excess return is generated.

(2) Income method

The income method refers to the appraisal methodology of determining the value of the appraised target by capitalizing or discounting the expected income of the appraised entity. Due to the imperfect market mechanism and the uncertainty of the future operating period, it is difficult to reasonably predict the expected income of the appraised assets, so the income method is not applicable to this appraisal.

  • 15 -

SUMMARY OF VALUATION REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX I

(3) Market method

The market method refers to the appraisal methodology of comparing the appraised target with reference enterprises, enterprises with existing transactions in the market, shareholders’ equity, securities and other equity assets to determine the value of the appraised target. The market method is applicable to the enterprise appraisal under the condition that there are sufficient market data and comparable reference enterprises or transactions. Due to the limited access to market information concerning domestic property rights transactions, the large differences in product structure and main business composition of similar enterprises, and the particularity of the appraised entity, it is extremely difficult to select similar market references, so the market method is not adopted.

Considering that the assets and liabilities entrusted to be evaluated can be inspected onsite, and that the balance sheet of the Target Company can be used to assess the value of identifiable assets and liabilities and adequate information can be provided for valuation of such assets and liabilities such as the financial statements of the Target Company, therefore, the asset-based approach was adopted for valuation.

6. Appraisal process and implementation status

(1) Overview of the on-site investigation

From 20 May to 1 June 2024, we formed an appraisal team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the declared assets. For intangible assets, we mainly checked the formation process of the enterprise’s debt and the accuracy of the book values by reviewing the original vouchers and confirmation letters of the enterprise and verifying the relevant economic behavior documents. Tangible assets such as fixed assets were counted and inspected on site to verify the asset location, usage status, property rights and other important factors affecting the appraised value.

(2) Overview of the estimated values

  • 1) Appraisal of current assets

  • Currency funds

The book value is RMB521,016.20 without any adjustment. It is a bank deposit.

The bank deposit mainly consists of the balances of two accounts, namely, Agricultural Bank of China (Hangzhou Ningwei Branch) and Zhejiang Xiaoshan Rural Commercial Bank (Gaoxin Branch). We checked the bank deposit statements, confirmed all accounts, and received a confirmation letter.

Of which: V 一 Overall value of the appraised target

  • A 一 Forecast future net income for each year

  • r 一 Discount rate

s 一 Growth rate

  • n 一 Number of revenue forecast periods

  • (2) Selection of income indicators

Determination of income period: Based on the remaining years of the land.

This places the appraised target in a complete and realistic business process and market environment, so that the future profitability of the houses is appraised on the basis of continuous leasing.

Selection of discount rate: Discount is a concept of time value with risk factors, whereby a future income or benefit is considered to be less than the same income or benefit in the present.
