MANDATE FOR POSSIBLE MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RESPECT OF THE POSSIBLE INVESTMENT IN THE TARGET COMPANY
INTRODUCTION
References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 1st August, 2018, 14th September, 2018 and 25th October, 2018, and the Circular issued by the Company on 28th August, 2018 in respect of, among other things, the Possible Investment in the Target Company. The Possible Investment was approved by the Shareholders at the EGM on 14th September, 2018.
On 25th October, 2018, the Company announced that the PRC Subsidiary (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company established in the PRC) won the Tender for the Possible Investment in the Target Company at the capital contribution of RMB1,301,260,000
– 2 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(equivalent to approximately HK$1,495,701,000) as announced by Xiamen Assets and Equity Exchange on 27th September, 2018. Accordingly, the PRC Subsidiary and the Existing Equity Holder entered into the Capital Increase Agreement on 29th September, 2018, pursuant to which the PRC Subsidiary and the Existing Equity Holder agreed to increase the registered capital and capital reserves of the Target Company by way of capital contribution made by the PRC Subsidiary in the amount of RMB1,301,260,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,495,701,000). The registration of the increase in registered capital and capital reserves of the Target Company with the relevant industry and commerce department in the PRC was completed on 19th October, 2018. On 22nd October, 2018, the PRC Subsidiary and the Existing Equity Holder entered into a cooperation agreement to govern the rights and obligations of the parties and as to the management and affairs of the Target Company.
The purpose of this Supplemental Circular is to provide you with further information concerning the Target Company and the Enlarged Group.
SUPPLEMENTAL CIRCULAR
As stated in the Circular, being only one of the potential bidders in the Tender who does not yet have any interest in the Target Company, the Bidder does not have sufficient access to the Target Company’s financial systems to enable the Company’s auditor to conduct an audit on the Target Company’s financial statements in accordance with the HKFRS for the purpose of preparing the accountants’ report of the Target Company nor does it have access to certain substantive confidential non-public information relating to the Target Company which is required by the Listing Rules to be provided in the Circular. Accordingly, the Company has applied for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, the waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.67(6)(a)(i) and Rule 14.67(6)(a)(ii) of the Listing Rules to the Company.
To fulfil its disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules, the Company sets out the following information in this Supplemental Circular to supplement the information already disclosed in the Circular:
-
(i) the accountants’ report of the Target Company for the three financial years ended 31st December, 2017 and a stub period ended 6 months or less before the date of this Supplemental Circular to be prepared under the HKFRS; and
-
(ii) a pro forma statement of the assets and liabilities of the Group combined with the assets and liabilities of the Target Company on the same accounting basis.
Apart from the information disclosed in this Supplemental Circular and the announcement of the Company dated 25th October, 2018 regarding, among other things, the bidding result of the Tender, there has been no material change to the information previously disclosed in the Circular. Shareholders and potential investors should note that the despatch of this Supplemental Circular will not affect the implementation of the Possible Investment and the results.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUZHOU XIANGYU REAL ESTATE COMPANY LIMITED TO THE DIRECTORS OF TIAN AN CHINA INVESTMENTS COMPANY LIMITED
Introduction
We report on the historical financial information of Suzhou Xiangyu Real Estate Company Limited* (蘇州象嶼地產有限公司) (the “Target Company”) set out on pages I-4 to I-34, which comprises the statements of financial position of the Target Company as at 31st December, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 30th September, 2018 and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash flows, for each of the years ended 31st December, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and the nine months ended 30th September, 2018 (the “Relevant 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 I-4 to I-34 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the supplemental circular of Tian An China Investments Company Limited (the “Company”) dated 31st January, 2019 (the “Supplemental Circular”) in connection with the investment in the Target Company by way of capital contribution through a public tender for 50% equity interests in the Target Company (the “Possible Investment”).
Director’s responsibility for Historical Financial Information
The director of the Target Company is responsible for the preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information and for such internal control as the director 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 (“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.
– I-1 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
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 the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 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 director, 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 31st December, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 30th September, 2018 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the Relevant Period in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.
Review of stub period comparative financial information
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Target Company which comprises the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended 30th September, 2017 and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”). The director of the Target Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative 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 Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Suzhou Xiangyu Real Estate Company Limited* (蘇州象嶼地產有限公司) (the “Target Company”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The registered address of its office and the principal place of business is 8 Zhaofeng Road, Huaqiao Town, Kunshan City, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, 215300, the PRC. The principal activity of the Target Company is real estate development and operation and property management in the PRC.
The Target Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanghai Xiangyu Real Estate Company Limited (上 海象嶼置業有限公司) (“Shanghai Xiangyu”), a company established in the PRC with limited liability and ultimately controlled by Xiamen Xiangyu Group Corporation (廈門象嶼集團有限公司) (“Xiamen Xiangyu”), a state-owned enterprise also incorporated in the PRC.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation
The business of the Target Company formed part of the larger group of the Target Company and its subsidiary (the “Overall Group”) during the Relevant Period.
For the purpose of preparation of the Historical Financial Information, only the assets and liabilities, and the results of the Target Company are included, and those of its subsidiary, Kunshan Hetai Real Estate Development Company Limited* (昆山合泰房地產開發有限公司) (“Kunshan Hetai”) are excluded (i.e. a carve-out basis) as compared with the assets and liabilities, and results of the Overall Group prepared on a consolidated basis.
Management of the Target Company is of the view that it is more appropriate to present the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company during the Relevant Period on a “carve-out” basis, rather than to present the financial information of the Overall Group on a consolidated basis, due to the following reasons:
-
It is practicable to identify the historical financial information attributable to the Target Company’s business given that the accounting books and records of the Target Company are maintained separately from the accounting books and records of Kunshan Hetai.
-
Kunshan Hetai has been disposed during the nine months ended 30th September, 2018 and it is impracticable to access the financial information after completion of the disposal.
-
Kunshan Hetai does not form part of Tian An China Investments Company Limited’s possible investment by way of capital contribution through a public tender for 50% equity interests in the Target Company (the “Possible Investment”) and hence its historical financial information is not relevant to the trading record of the Target Company. Management believes that presenting the consolidated financial information of the Overall Group on a consolidated basis, which would include the results of Kunshan Hetai that is not the subject of the Possible Investment, would provide irrelevant and potentially misleading financial information to the users of the Historical Financial Information.
-
The consolidated financial information of the Overall Group had never been prepared by management of the Target Company on a standalone basis.
-
Presenting the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company on a “carve-out” basis would provide more direct and relevant information to the users of the Historical Financial Information.
For the purpose of the Possible Investment, the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company has been prepared and presented on “carve-out” basis as if Kunshan Hetai was excluded in preparing the Historical Financial Information throughout the Relevant Period.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard (“HKFRSs”) which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the HKICPA effective for the accounting period beginning from 1st January, 2018, and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”). The Target Company has applied HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 15 consistently throughout the Relevant Period.

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies of the Target Company. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information are disclosed in Note 4 below.
2.2 Foreign currencies
The functional currency of the Target Company is RMB. In preparing the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Target Company are recognised at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.
2.3 Inventories of properties
Completed properties held for sale and properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises the cost of land, development expenditure, other attributable costs and borrowing costs capitalised. Net realisable value is determined by reference to the management estimates based on prevailing market conditions.
2.4 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the statement of profit or loss because income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability for current tax is calculated to use tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
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 rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
– I-11 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax is recognised to profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.5 Impairment losses
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so 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.
2.6 Revenue recognition
The Target Company adopted a 5-step approach when recognising revenue from sales of completed properties:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Target Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Target Company recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
A performance obligation represents a good and service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same. Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
-
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Target Company’s performance as the Target Company performs;
-
the Target Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Target Company performs; or
-
the Target Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Company and the Target Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
– I-12 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.
A contract liability represents the Target Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Target Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.
Revenue from properties developed for sale is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains the control of the completed properties, which is the time that completed property stated in the sale and purchase agreement being delivered and its title being passed to the customer.
Deposits received from sales of properties prior to meeting the above criteria for revenue recognition are presented as contract liabilities in the statement of financial position under current liabilities.
Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Existence of significant financing component
In determining the transaction price, the Target Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed (either explicitly or implicitly) provides the customer or the Target Company with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer. In those circumstances, the contract contains a significant financing component. A significant financing component may exist regardless of whether the promise of financing is explicitly stated in the contract or implied by the payment terms agreed to by the parties to the contract.
For contracts where the period between payment and transfer of the associated goods or services is less than one year, the Target Company applies the practical expedient of not adjusting the transaction price for any significant financing component.
2.7 Financial instruments
Financial assets
The Target Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and
-
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.
The Target Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Recognition and measurement
At initial recognition, the Target Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the profit or loss.
– I-13 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Target Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Target Company classifies its debt instruments:
-
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in the profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
-
Fair value through other comprehensive income – recycling, if the contractual cash flows of the investment comprise solely payments of principal and interest and the investment is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collection of contractual cash flows and sale. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for the recognition in profit or loss of expected credit losses, interest income (calculated using the effective interest method) and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the investment is derecognised, the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income is recycled from equity to profit or loss.
-
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial assets and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial assets, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying value on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instrument.
Financial liabilities
Debt issued by the Target Company are classified as financial liabilities with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability.
Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities that include borrowings, amounts due to ultimate holding company, immediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries, trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at costs.
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 (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying value on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.
Derecognition
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
– I-14 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
2.8 Impairment under expected credit losses model
The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment (including bank balances and cash, other receivables, amounts due from immediate holding company, an intermediate holding company and fellow subsidiaries). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“12m ECL”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessment are done based on the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions. The Target Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Target Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Target Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:
-
An actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;
-
Existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
-
An actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and
-
An actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Target Company presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Target Company has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.
The Target Company considers that default has occurred when the instrument is more than 90 days past due unless the Target Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information.
– I-15 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
Generally, the Target Company is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Target Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Target Company expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.
Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.
The Target Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade receivable where the corresponding adjustment is recognised through a loss allowance account.
2.9 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognised to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method at 20-33% per annum.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.
2.10 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.11 Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, state-managed retirement benefit schemes is recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
2.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and demand deposits with banks which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.13 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Target Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
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 Company, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
2.14 Segment reporting
The Target Company identifies operating segments and prepares segment information based on the regular internal financial information reported to the chief operating decision maker for their decisions about resources allocation to the Target Company’s business components for their review of the performance of those components.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX I
The director of the Target Company anticipates that all the relevant new and amended HKFRSs will be adopted in the Target Company’s accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of such standards. The Target Company considered that the adoption of these new and amended HKFRSs is unlikely to have material impact on the Target Company’s results of operations and financial position however may result additional disclosures.
4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 above, the director of the Target Company is required to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimated and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year/period.
Valuation of inventories of properties
Inventories of properties (Note 15) of RMB1,028,994,000, RMB1,280,771,000, RMB1,158,753,000 and RMB1,316,549,000 as at 31st December, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 30th September, 2018 are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The management determined the net realisable value of inventories of completed properties with reference to the estimated market prices of inventories of completed properties, which takes into account a number of factors including recent prices achieved for similar property types in the same project or by similar properties in the PRC.
The management determined the net realisable value of inventories of properties under development with reference to costs incurred to date; the estimated costs to completion and the estimated market prices of inventories of completed properties, which takes into account a number of factors including recent prices achieved for similar property types in the same project or by similar properties in the PRC.
Based on the management’s assessment, no write-down of inventories and reversal of write-down of inventories were recognised in profit or loss during the Relevant Period.
Land appreciation tax (“LAT”)
PRC LAT is levied at progressive rates on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures including sales charges, borrowing costs and all property development expenditures.
The Target Company is subject to LAT in the PRC. The details of implementation have been announced by local tax bureaux in the city that the Target Company operates, however, the Target Company has not finalised its LAT calculation and payments with local tax bureaux. Accordingly, significant judgements are required in determining the amount of land appreciation and its related taxes. The Target Company recognises these liabilities based on the management’s best estimates according to the understanding of the tax rules. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

5. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
HKFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Target Company that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, being the board of directors in order to allocate resources and to assess performance.
The Target Company is principally engaged in the business of real estate development and operation and property management in the PRC and the management has regarded this business as the only dominant reportable operating segment to be reported to the chief operating decision maker. Thus, no analysis of segment revenue, segment results, segment assets and segment liabilities are presented for the Relevant Period.
The Target Company’s operation is located in the PRC. During the Relevant Period, all of the Target Company’s revenue were derived from its PRC customers. In addition, at the end of each reporting date, all of the Target Company’s specified non-current assets were located in the PRC.
Revenue recognised by the Target Company during the Relevant Period represents the fair value of consideration received in respect of sales of properties. During the Relevant Period, no customer individually contributed more than 10% of the Target Company’s total revenue.

Foreign currency risk

The Target Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
