LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Full Choice Consideration

Pursuant to the Full Choice Agreement, the Full Choice Consideration of HK$1,641,600,000 shall be satisfied in the following manner:

  • (i) upon signing of the Full Choice Agreement, a deposit of RMB282,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$331,765,000) (i.e. the Full Choice Deposit) shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor by transferring RMB282,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$331,765,000) to a bank account in the PRC as designated by the Vendor in writing; and

  • (ii) upon Full Choice Completion, the full amount of the Full Choice Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor by transferring HK$1,641,600,000 to a bank account in Hong Kong as designated by the Vendor in writing.

Subject to the fulfilment of the Full Choice Condition set out in clause (v) under the section “Full Choice Conditions” below prior to Full Choice Completion, within one (1) business day following the receipt of the full amount of the Full Choice Consideration by the Vendor on Full Choice Completion, the Vendor shall return the Full Choice Deposit (without interest) to the Purchaser. If the Full Choice Condition set out in clause (v) under the section “Full Choice Conditions” below fails to be fulfilled by the Purchaser prior to Full Choice Completion, the Purchaser shall undertake that it will fulfil the Full Choice Condition set out in clause (v) under the section “Full Choice Conditions” below within three (3) weeks from the date of the Full Choice Completion. The Full Choice Deposit will only be returned to the Purchaser (without interest) after the fulfilment of the Full Choice Condition set out in clause (v) under the section “Full Choice Conditions” below on the same day of such fulfilment, otherwise the Full Choice Deposit will be used to repay the Loans Due To The Lenders. Provided that if the Full Choice Deposit is not sufficient to repay the Loans Due To The Lenders, the Purchaser shall repay the Loans Due To The Lenders remained outstanding in full forthwith thereafter.

The Full Choice Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendor and the Purchaser having regard to the market value of the Land. The Directors consider that the Full Choice Consideration was fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders taken as a whole.

Upon Full Choice Completion, the Purchaser shall take up all the liabilities of the Full Choice Group arising out of outstanding tax payable, outstanding contract sums payable to contractors / service providers, litigation matters, bank loans and others. It is estimated that, the effect of those liabilities upon the Full Choice Group will be minimal when it is being compared with the market value of the Land. As a result, the Vendor did not take the aggregate amount of the liabilities of the Full Choice Group into account when determining the Full Choice Consideration.

The Land consists of Dengyun Resort and Summit Golf Country Club. According to the valuation report prepared by the independent property valuer, the market value of the Land is

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

HK$3,300,000,000 and the entire amount of such is attributable from the portion of Dengyun Resort. Having considered the Group’s 34.1975% effective interest in the Land, the value of the Group’s interest in the Land is HK$1,128,517,500. Since the portion of Summit Golf Country Club has not been vested with proper land use rights to the Group, the property valuer has attributed no commercial value to such portion. In the event that proper legal title and all relevant permits required have been obtained and all land premium, if any, have been fully paid, the market value for the portion of Summit Golf Country Club shall be approximately HK$730,000,000 as estimated by the property valuer, representing a value of approximately HK$249,641,750 attributable to the Group.

Taking into account of the value of the Group’s interest in the Land of HK$1,128,517,500 and the estimated value of approximately HK$249,641,750 in the portion of Summit Golf Country Club attributable to the Group assuming proper land use rights will be obtained, the total market value attributable to the Group from its interest in the Land shall be approximately HK$1,378,159,250 and the Vendor has taken such amount into account when determining the Full Choice Consideration. The Purchaser is willing to pay a premium over the market value of the Land for acquiring the assets under the Disposals.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor has received RMB282,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$331,765,000), being the Full Choice Deposit, from the Purchaser.

Full Choice Completion shall be conditional upon:

The loss recorded by Full Choice Group in 2015 was attributable to its share in the land use tax paid for the Land and relevant expenses incurred during the year.

The major asset composition of Full Choice is the 50% shareholding in Foo Chow and the effective 34.1975% (inclusive of 0.026% held through Sky Talent) interest in the Land held through Foo Chow and its subsidiaries. The major asset composition of Foo Chow is the effective 68.395% interest in the Land held through its subsidiaries.

The financial information above has been prepared in accordance with HKGAAP.

Ace Mission was a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Full Choice from 9th October, 2014 to 5th July, 2016 (being the date of Full Choice disposing the entire interest in Ace Mission to the Vendor). As a result, the above financial information of Full Choice Group has consolidated the financial results of Ace Mission.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE FULL CHOICE DISPOSAL

It is estimated that, as a result of the Full Choice Disposal, the Company will recognise an estimated gain of approximately HK$1,581,004,000 being the Full Choice Consideration and net deficit of Full Choice Group and other costs. The proceeds generated from the Full Choice Disposal will be applied as general working capital of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not identified any material investment opportunity nor entered into any binding agreements with third parties for utilizing the proceed generated from the Full Choice Disposal.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group will continue to seek stable and profitable investment opportunity, particularly, in those development properties in the first-tier cities in the PRC with increasing rental streams and corresponding increases in capital value. Meanwhile, the Group will further invest in the development of our cyberpark and urban renewal units.

Following Full Choice Completion and without taking other factors into account, the total assets of the Group will be increased as a result of the gain from the Full Choice Disposal, and the total liabilities of the Group will be reduced by the liabilities attributable to Full Choice.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE FULL CHOICE DISPOSAL

The Group invested in the Land since the residential properties business could generate prominent return to the Group in the past.

The long term corporate strategies of the Group include retaining certain development properties for investment where we believe these properties will provide increasing rental streams and corresponding increases in capital value and 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.

The Company considers the Full Choice Disposal to be a good opportunity for the Company to realise its investment especially given that (i) the Full Choice Disposal will be made at a gain; and (ii) the increase in capital value of the Land over the years of investment is satisfactory to the Board. In addition, with reference to the prevailing market conditions in light of the measures, regulations, and restrictions passed by the PRC government in recent years to stabilise property prices and the fact that the proceeds from the Full Choice Disposal will strengthen the financial position of the Group and enhance its cashflow, although the Group has no immediate funding needs, the Directors consider that the present time is a mature time for the Full Choice Disposal. In addition, the Group wishes to adjust the quality of its landbank through the Full Choice Disposal and to focus on the properties development business in first-tier cities in the PRC with increasing rental streams and corresponding increases in capital value and also the development of our cyberpark and urban renewal units.

The restrictions and regulations imposed by the PRC government on the property sector result in uncertainty in the future conditions of the property market and also the Group’s operating results on the development project of the Land. The Directors consider that the Full Choice Disposal can eliminate those uncertainties in return from the Land by realising the Company’s future profit and cash flow. The Directors also consider the mitigation of the aforesaid PRC property market risks and the financial costs associated with the development of the Land render the Full Choice Disposal beneficial to the Group.

Having regard to the nature of and the benefits resulting from the Full Choice Disposal, the Directors believe that the terms of the Full Choice Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders taken as a whole.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

INDEBTEDNESS OF THE GROUP

As at the close of business on 30th June, 2016, 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$6,449 million comprising secured bank loans of approximately HK$5,130 million, other secured loans of approximately HK$1 million, unsecured bank loans of approximately HK$172 million, unsecured loans from certain non-controlling shareholders of approximately HK$466 million, unsecured loan from joint ventures of approximately HK$180 million, unsecured loans from associates of approximately HK$7 million, and other unsecured loans of approximately HK$493 million. The Group’s banking facilities and other loans were secured by charges over its assets, including bank deposits, 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 subsidiaries. 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 held by a subsidiary of the Group with carrying value of approximately HK$39 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. Further, property for development that is held by another subsidiary of the Group with carrying value of approximately HK$499 million had been identified as idle land by the local authority. The construction works for the first phase of development is in progress. 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$1,513 million in respect of guarantees for banking facilities granted to property purchasers and joint ventures. There was also a claim of approximately HK$33 million arising from litigation with a joint venture partner. Further particulars of this litigation are set out in the section headed “Litigation” in Appendix III 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 30th June, 2016, 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, taking into account of its existing cash and bank balances, banking facilities and other internal resources available, 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

After the downward adjustments of property prices in most cities in China since 2014, there have been various measures by the mainland authorities to support the property market. These include successive reductions in bank interest and lowering of the reserve requirement ratio, as well as loosening or reversal of housing disincentives by the various levels of government. Market prices for residential properties have increased substantially in first-tier cities, while those in suburban areas and lower-tier cities are now improving. We are pleased with the improving sentiment and are 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.

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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.

Our valuation is our opinion of value of the property on the basis of “Market Value” which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property on the market without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which could serve to affect the value of the property interest.

Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

In valuing the property interest, we have valued the property by Direct Comparison Approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state and making reference to relevant comparables as available in the market.

We have relied on the advice given by the Group and its PRC legal adviser, 北京盈科(上海)律師事務所 (Beijing Yingke Law Firm, Shanghai Office) (hereinafter referred to as the “PRC legal adviser”), regarding the title to the property as at the date of valuation.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the property on 9th July, 2016 by our senior valuation manager Mr. Oliver Pan who possesses a master degree in investment from University of Reading. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no unexpected cost and delay will be incurred during construction. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and floor plans available to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the attached valuation certificate is based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are, therefore, only approximations.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, lettings, site and floor areas, construction cost incurred as at the date of valuation and all other relevant matters.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also been advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
