LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER LOAN AND THE PROVISION OF GUARANTEE

(I) Provision of Shareholder Loan

The Shareholder Loan will be recognised and disclosed as amount due from joint ventures in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. The provision of the Shareholder Loan will increase the accounts receivables and will decrease the bank and cash balances of the Group by the same amount of RMB200,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$253,165,000). As such, the provision of the Shareholder Loan will not have material financial effect to the total assets and liabilities of the Group. Except for the interest income from the Shareholder Loan which will be recorded as other income of the Group, there will be no material effect on earnings of the Group associated with the provision of the Shareholder Loan.

(II) Provision of Guarantee

The entering into of the Memorandum in relation to the provision of the Guarantee will not have any immediate effect on the Group’s earnings, assets and liabilities. However, Tian An (Shenzhen), as a guarantor under the guarantees provided or to be provided pursuant to the Memorandum, will be responsible for repayment of the Bank Loans amounted to a maximum of RMB3,000,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,797,468,000) for the principal amount to be guaranteed under the deeds of guarantee pursuant to the Memorandum in case there is a default in the repayment of the relevant Bank Loans by Tian An Junye.

In the event that Tian An Junye were to default in the repayment of the relevant Bank Loans, the Company’s liabilities would be increased by a maximum of RMB3,000,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,797,468,000) for the principal amount to be guaranteed under the deeds of guarantee pursuant to the Memorandum.

If any of the Banks enforces the Guarantee and recovers from Tian An (Shenzhen) for a payment not exceeding the proportion that Tian An (Shenzhen) should be responsible for according to its shareholding in Tian An Junye, an account receivable from a joint venture will be recognised for the Group.

If Tian An (Shenzhen) has paid an amount exceeding the proportion that it should be responsible for according to its shareholding in Tian An Junye pursuant to its obligations under the Guarantee, Junye Company, being the non-paying shareholder of Tian An Junye under the Memorandum, shall transfer its shareholding interest in Tian An Junye to Tian An (Shenzhen) with reference to the excess payment amount. Upon such transfer, the shareholding of Tian An (Shenzhen) in Tian An Junye will be increased to more than 50% and the investment in joint venture for the Group will be increased accordingly.

After considering the previous financial and operation performance of Tian An Junye, the Directors are of the view that the provision of the Guarantee will not have any material negative financial effects on the earnings, assets and liabilities of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER LOAN AND THE PROVISION OF GUARANTEE

(I) Current Development of the Project

The Project undertaken by Tian An Junye is a “Model project of urban renewal” and is located in Huawei New City Area, Longgang District, Shenzhen. The Project will have a site area of approximately 760,000 square metres and its planned total GFA will be approximately 2,890,000 square metres. The Project is planned to be developed into a combination of new technology and a modern city complex, including industrial research and development, commercial, residential and apartment properties. The Project is currently divided into six phases.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the development plan and the details of each phase of the Project are set out as follows:

(1) Phase 1

Phase 1 has a total GFA of 414,100 square metres with 7 office buildings. Construction work of Phase 1 with a total GFA of 193,200 square metres has been completed and the remaining portion is expected to be completed in August 2015. An amount of development cost of RMB2,870,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,632,911,000) had been incurred for Phase 1 and it is expected that an additional sum of RMB100,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$126,582,000) will be incurred. As at the Latest Practicable Date, more than 40% of the saleable GFA of Phase 1 has been sold to customers since the sale of the relevant units commenced in November 2014. The average price of the properties sold is approximately RMB19,700 per square metre.

(2) Phase 2

The land in Phase 2 has a total GFA of 542,900 square metres. The planning and design stage of Phase 2 is in progress and it is expected that the construction will be commenced in January 2016 and is expected to be completed in December 2018. Since Phase 2 is still under planning and design stage, the development cost already incurred up to the Latest Practicable Date is RMB840,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,063,291,000).

(3) Remaining area

The lands in the remaining area have a total GFA of 1,933,300 square metres. The remaining area is in the stage of negotiating with the owners of buildings to be demolished on the land and has incurred an amount of RMB18,980,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$24,025,000) as development cost.

Following the provision of Shareholder Loan and the provision of Guarantee, it is planned that the sale proceeds from realising Phase 1 and Phase 2 properties will be utilised for further development of the Project if there is a shortage of working capital in the future.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(II) Provision of Shareholder Loan

The Directors consider that the provision of the Shareholder Loan will facilitate Tian An Junye meeting the financial needs relating to the payment of development costs to be incurred under Phase 2 of the Project undertaken by Tian An Junye. The terms of the Shareholder Loan were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between Tian An (Shenzhen) and Tian An Junye.

The Directors are of the view that the provision of the Shareholder Loan to Tian An Junye will facilitate the further development of the Project. In addition, given that an interest income would be generated from the Shareholder Loan, the Directors consider that the terms of the Shareholder Loan were entered into on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

(III) Provision of Guarantee

The Directors consider that the provision of the Guarantee will facilitate Tian An Junye meeting the financial needs relating to the payment of development costs to be incurred under further development of the Project undertaken by Tian An Junye.

It was reported by Tian An Junye that more than 40% of the saleable GFA of Phase 1 of the Project has been sold to customers since the sale of the relevant units commenced in November 2014. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the contribution from further development of the Project will benefit Tian An Junye, as well as the Company, significantly in the future.

The terms of the Guarantee were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between Tian An (Shenzhen) and Junye Company. In addition, the Directors consider that the terms of the Memorandum were entered into on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(II) Provision of Guarantee

Reference is made to the Third Guarantee Announcement and the Fourth Guarantee Announcement.

The provision of the Guarantee (inclusive of the Third Guarantee Transaction and the Fourth Guarantee Transaction), either on a stand-alone basis or when aggregating with the Previous Shareholder Loan and the Shareholder Loan, constitutes a series of related transactions and shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the Percentage Ratios in respect of the provision of the Guarantee (inclusive of the Third Guarantee Transaction and the Fourth Guarantee Transaction), either on a stand-alone basis or when aggregated with the Previous Shareholder Loan and the Shareholder Loan, exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the provision of the Guarantee constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder or any of its associates has any material interest in the provision of the Guarantee and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution in respect of the Memorandum in relation to the provision of the Guarantee at the EGM.

INDEBTEDNESS OF THE GROUP

As at the close of business on 31st May, 2015, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of ascertaining the indebtedness of the Group prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had total outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$6,118 million comprising secured bank loans of approximately HK$4,520 million, other secured loans of approximately HK$1 million, unsecured bank loans of approximately HK$553 million, unsecured loans from certain non-controlling shareholders of approximately HK$577 million, unsecured loan from joint ventures of approximately HK$193 million, unsecured loans from associates of approximately HK$7 million, and other unsecured loans of approximately HK$267 million. The Group’s banking facilities and other loans were secured by charges over its assets, including property, plant and equipment, properties for development, properties under development, inventories of completed properties and investment properties.

There were contingent liabilities arising from the property for development of a joint venture and a subsidiary. A portion of a property for development that is held by a 50%-owned joint venture of the Group with carrying value of approximately HK$3 million is under idle land investigation by the local authority. This piece of land owned by the joint venture was held under several land use right certificates. The development of more than half of the piece of land was either completed or under development, except for a portion which is retained for the remaining development of the whole project. Another property for development that is held by

– 15 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

a subsidiary of the Group with carrying value of approximately HK$40 million is also under idle land investigation by the local authority. This piece of land owned by the subsidiary has been developed by several phases and more than half was completed, except the last portion which is under the planning approval by the local authority. The Group is currently working diligently to prevent the possible classification as idle land, including negotiating the feasibility of development plans with local authorities. Based on legal advices, the Group has assessed the issue and considers that the idle land confiscation may not materialise.

In addition, the Group had contingent liabilities in the sum of approximately HK$2,280 million in respect of guarantees for banking facilities granted to property purchasers, investees classified as available-for-sale investments and joint ventures. There was also a claim of approximately HK$4 million arising from litigation with the owners committee of a property. Further particulars of this litigation are set out in the section headed “Litigation” in Appendix II to this circular.

Save as aforesaid and apart from the intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the ordinary course of business, as at the close of business on 31st May, 2015, the Group did not have other outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures or other loan capital, bank overdrafts or loans, other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, taking into account of its existing cash and bank balances and other internal resources available and also the effect of the provision of the Shareholder Loan and the provision of the Guarantee, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements and for at least 12 months from the date of publication of the circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstance.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

With weak sales sentiment, there have been downward adjustments of property prices in most cities of China in 2014. Some local governments have relaxed the policy of restricting the number of homes that can be purchased in order to support the property market. There have been some changes to the property market sentiment in the recent months in the form of reduction in bank interests and lowering of the reserve requirement ratio. The sentiment in the short term may appear to be encouraging but significant market improvement is yet to be seen. However, we remain confident of the longer term prospects of the property market in China.

The Group’s business objectives are as follows:

  1. To continue to adjust the quality of its landbank through acquisitions and disposals and sale of its end products to balance the demands of short term returns and long term capital appreciation.

– 16 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  1. To adjust its products and pricing as well as the speed of construction where necessary to assist the sale of our products in the current difficult environment.

  2. To responsibly gear up our projects rather than overutilising equity in order to increase our return on equity.

  3. To review our management and cost structure so as to improve efficiency and reduce expenses where possible.

Long term corporate strategies of the Group include:

  1. Retaining certain development properties for investment where we believe these properties will provide increasing rental streams and corresponding increases in capital value.

  2. Concentrating our effort on developing our cyberpark and urban renewal units where we believe our products are welcomed by the government and the local market.
