LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assets to be disposed of
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Disposal Agreement, the Purchasers conditionally agreed to acquire, and the Vendors conditionally agreed to dispose of, the Disposal Shares, which represent the entire issued share capital of the Target Company.
In particular, Guangzhou Yu Jun shall transfer 55.00% of the Disposal Shares to Guizhou Kaichuang, and Guizhou Xiehui and Guizhou Zhongjia shall transfer 20.25% and 24.75%, respectively, of the Disposal Shares to Guizhou Baichuan.
Consideration
The aggregate consideration for the disposal of the Disposal Shares was RMB50.0 million, among which RMB27.5 million (the “ GZYJ Consideration ”) shall be payable to Guangzhou Yu Jun for its transfer of the 55% of the Disposal Shares to Guizhou Kaichuang.
The GZYJ Consideration shall be paid in cash in the following manners:
-
(i) an amount of RMB2.75 million shall be payable as deposit (the “ Deposit ”) within seven days commencing from the execution of the Disposal Agreement, which shall be applied to set-off part of the GZYJ Consideration on the Completion Date (as defined below); and
-
(ii) the remaining balance shall be payable on the date on which the repayment of the Shareholder’s Loans and the Loan and the distribution of the dividend (as set out in the section headed “Distribution of dividend” below) are made.
The GZYJ Consideration of RMB27.5 million was determined after arm’s length negotiations between Guangzhou Yu Jun and Guizhou Kaichuang with reference to the registered capital of the Target Company as at the date of the Disposal Agreement and after taking into account the historical financial performance of the Target Company and the Company’s expectation on the outlook of the property market in Guiyang, the PRC, in near future.
The aggregate proceeds to be received by Guangzhou Yu Jun upon completion of the Disposal Agreement (taking into account the dividend to be received as disclosed in the section headed “Distribution of dividend” below) is approximately RMB67.5 million comprising (a) the GZYJ Consideration of RMB27.5 million; and (b) a dividend of RMB40.0 million (as mentioned in the section headed “Distribution of dividend” below). Such aggregate proceeds represent a discount of approximately 20.4% to the sum of the adjusted net assets value (the “ Adjusted NAV ”) of the Target Company attributable to the Group of approximately RMB84.8 million. The Adjusted NAV attributable to the Group was determined based on the unaudited net assets value of the Target Company attributable to the Group of approximately RMB47.7 million as at 31 December 2013 adjusted by the appreciation in the value of the Properties of the Target Company attributable to the Group which in turn was estimated based on 55% of the increment of the fair value of the Properties as at 30 April 2014 of RMB748.0 million as valued by an independent property valuer as compared with the book value of the Properties of approximately RMB658.2 million as at 30 April 2014 and 55% of the estimated corporate income tax liability of approximately RMB22.5 million arising from such appreciation in property value.
3
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors are of the view that the consideration is fair and reasonable despite the discount to the Adjusted NAV taking into account: (i) the valuation of the Properties as assessed by the independent property valuer is computed based on the assumption that each unit of the Properties is sold to individual buyers separately. However, the Disposal represents the sale of all the units of the Properties in one lot. Bulk sale of properties often involves a discount to the selling price for individual units when they are sold separately; (ii) the unit price of the residential units in phase 3 of the Properties implied in the valuation of the independent valuer is higher than the actual average selling price of residential units in phase 3 of the Properties sold by the Target Company. If the actual average selling price of the residential units in phase 3 of the Properties was applied to the valuation, the discount of the consideration as compared to the Adjusted NAV of the Target Company would be lower by approximately RMB7.3 million (or 7.5%) based on the Company’s best estimation; and (iii) the factors set out in section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Disposal” below.
Distribution of dividend
As at the date of the Disposal Agreement, the Target Company had unaudited retained earnings of approximately RMB72.7 million, which shall be distributed to the Vendors in proportion to their respective shareholding in the Target Company prior to completion of the Disposal Agreement. Guangzhou Yu Jun is entitled a dividend of approximately RMB40.0 million payable by the Target Company for its 55% shareholding in the Target Company.
Conditions precedent
The Purchasers are required to obtain the pre-completion financing (the “ Pre-financing ”) of no less than RMB300 million for purpose of (i) repayment of the Shareholder’s Loans; (ii) repayment of the Loan; and (iii) the distribution of dividend as set out above within 60 days from the date on which the following issues are satisfied:
-
(i) the Disposal Agreement having been duly executed by the Vendors and the Purchasers;
-
(ii) the payment of the Deposit;
-
(iii) the obtaining of the pre-sale permits in respect of towers 11 and 12 of the Guiyang Project (as defined below); and
-
(iv) the satisfaction by Guangzhou Yu Jun and the Company with the regulatory requirements under the relevant laws of Hong Kong and the Listing Rules (please refer to the section headed “Implications of the Listing Rules” below for details) with respect to the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Guangzhou Yu Jun is entitled to terminate the Disposal Agreement and forfeit the Deposit if the Pre-financing is not obtained in the manner as prescribed in the Disposal Agreement.
Furthermore, the Disposal Agreement shall become unconditional upon, among others, the following issues are satisfied (or waived unanimously by the Vendors):
- (i) the Disposal Agreement and an agreement, in standard form, for lodgment to the relevant local counterparties of State Administration of Industry and Commerce of the PRC having been duly executed by the Vendors and the Purchasers and becoming effective;
4
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(ii) the obtaining of the above mentioned Pre-financing;
-
(iii) the repayment of the Shareholder’s Loans and the Loan and the distribution of the dividend as stated in the section headed “Distribution of dividend” above;
-
(iv) the payment of the aggregate consideration for the disposal of the Disposal Shares of RMB50.0 million; and
-
(v) where applicable, the Purchasers having obtained all necessary approval relating to the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and/or any written consents from third parties having been obtained for the same.
Completion
Completion shall take place on the date (the “ Completion Date ”) on which the relevant PRC authority issues a new business licence to the Target Company showing that the Purchasers are holders of the Disposal Shares.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company is a 55% owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the Disposal, the Company will not hold any interests in the Target Company and the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.
For illustrative purpose, the Group is expected to incur a loss of approximately RMB6.2 million, which is calculated based on the sum of the GZYJ Consideration of RMB27.5 million, the repayment of the GZYJ Shareholder’s Loan of approximately RMB93.0 million and the dividend of approximately RMB40.0 million to be received by Guangzhou Yu Jun from the Target Company, deducted by (i) the Target Company’s unaudited net assets attributable to the Group of approximately RMB47.7 million as at 31 December 2013; (ii) the finance costs capitalised at the corporate level as project development cost of the Properties of the Target Company of approximately RMB25.0 million (after netting of site expenses incurred by Guangzhou Yu Jun and reimbursed by the Target Company of approximately RMB1.2 million up to 31 December 2013); (iii) the GZYJ Shareholder’s Loan of approximately RMB93.0 million as at 23 April 2014; and (iv) an estimated transaction cost of approximately RMB1.0 million for the Disposal. The exact amount of loss to be incurred by the Group as a result of the Disposal will be determined based on the financial position of the Company and the Target Company as at the Completion Date (as defined above). The unaudited pro forma financial statements of the Remaining Group and the related financial impacts is set out in Appendix III in this circular.
The net proceeds from the Disposal (after deducting the transaction expenses related to the Disposal of approximately RMB1.0 million) are estimated to be approximately RMB66.5 million (taking into account the dividend to be received as disclosed above), which the Company intends to apply as general working capital of the Remaining Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in property development and property investment.
The Target Company is principally engaged in the property development project, namely Tianyu City (“天譽城”), in Guiyang (the “ Guiyang Project ”). The first two phases of the Guiyang Project were completed and substantially sold. The remaining third phase of such project is under construction and is expected to be completed progressively in 2014 and 2015. Therefore, it takes time to generate cash flow from the remaining third phase.
In considering the Disposal, the Directors have taken into account the following factors:
-
(i) the performance of the Guiyang Project in the past few years was below expectation, which is represented by the factors including (a) the actual selling prices of the properties of the Guiyang Project have been lower than the target selling price set by the Company since the commencement of the Guiyang Project. At the commencement of the Guiyang Project in 2008, the management set the target selling price of approximately RMB5,000 per sq.m. with reference to the then prevailing average market price of approximately RMB5,345 sq.m.. However, the actual selling price of first two phases of the Guiyang Project contracted by the Target Company in the past years was on an average of approximately RMB4,375 per sq.m. only. The Directors consider that it was mainly due to the excessive supply in the property market of Guiyang; and (b) the accumulated loss incurred by the Group on the Guiyang Project amounted to approximately RMB6.7 million since the incorporation of the Target Company, taking into account the interest of approximately RMB26.9 million capitalised at the corporate level;
-
(ii) the Disposal enables the Company to receive gross aggregate proceeds of approximately RMB67.5 million in cash and the repayment of the GZYJ Shareholder’s Loan of approximately RMB93.0 million at an earlier stage as compared to a normal timeline required when investments in a property development project are returned to shareholders only after 2 to 3 years upon completion of the project. The proceeds received from the contracted sales of the residential units in phase 3 of the Guiyang Project of approximately RMB430 million have been received by the Target Company in full and are restricted to be applied to payment of the construction costs of the related properties until completion of construction. The remaining two towers of the third phase are under construction and the pre-sale of residential units thereunder will begin in the second quarter of 2014 after obtaining the pre-sale permits. However, shareholders of the Target Company can only realise its return of investment, which will be in form of dividend, shareholders’ loan repayment and distribution of capital, after completion of the construction and delivery of properties to customers when the revenue is recognized, which is currently expected to be in late 2014 and 2015. Accordingly, the expected timing to realize returns by the Group from the Guiyang Project would be after 2016. Furthermore, the Company also considers Disposal would help the Company save the finance costs by the cash immediately realized from the Disposal upon completion of the transaction. As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2013 (“ 2013 Annual Report ”), the Group’s finance costs had a blended annualized interest rate of approximately 12.7%;
6
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(iii) the outlook of the property market in Guiyang is believed by the Directors to be lackluster given the excess in supply in the locality as a result of the unprecedented high volume of properties under development leading to low selling prices and margins and therefore it is considered commercially beneficial to reallocate financial resources of the Group to other regions. As disclosed in an article (the “ Article ”) of Tai Kung Po, website dated 1 December 2012, the inventory of residential and commercial units of Guiyang amounted to 34.9 million sq.m. while the population was under 5 million as of September of 2012. Based on the rate of consumption in the first half of 2012, it would take at least four years to consume such inventory. This is mainly attributable to the over-reliance of Guiyang’s economic development in the property development sector, according to the Article. It is also mentioned in the Article that a bubble was created in Guiyang’s property market; and
-
(iv) the return of the Guiyang Project is expected to be lower than that of the other property development projects of the Group in Guangzhou and Nanning and thus the Disposal would allow the Group to focus its resources on those projects which are of larger size and greater prospect.
The Board considers that the entering into the Disposal Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Disposal Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
The Guiyang Project consists of high-end residential apartments of a total GFA of approximately 460,000 sq.m. for residential apartments and approximately 132,000 sq.m. for commercial complex, community facilities and car parking spaces. Properties in the first and second phases of the development in GFA of approximately 253,000 sq.m. were completed of which nearly all residential units of GFA of approximately 250,000 sq.m. were sold and delivered to customers and the remaining commercial units of GFA of approximately 6,300 sq.m. and car parking spaces of approximately 67,000 sq.m. are currently held for sales. The final third phase of the project, consisting of five residential buildings, commercial units and car park spaces of GFA of approximately 244,000 sq.m., are under construction. The properties under construction are expected to be completed progressively in 2014 and 2015, of which a GFA totaling of approximately 92,000 sq.m. of three towers of the third phase has been sold out with contracted sales (the “ Contracted Sales ”) of approximately RMB430 million as at the end of March 2014. The proceeds from the Contracted Sales of approximately RMB430 million have been received by the Target Company in full and are restricted to be applied to payment of the construction costs of the related properties until completion. The Contracted Sales will be recognized as revenue of the Target Company in late 2014 and 2015 when the construction of the properties is completed and the properties are delivered to the customers. The remaining two residential towers of the third phase of GFA of approximately 106,000 sq.m., commercial units of GFA of approximately 6,600 sq.m. and car parking space of GFA of approximately 36,000 sq.m. are under construction. The pre-sale of residential units of salable area of approximately 106,000 sq.m. will begin in the second quarter of 2014 after obtaining the pre-sale permits.

INFORMATION ON THE REMAINING GROUP
Upon completion of the Disposal, the Remaining Group will be undergoing four real estate development projects in the PRC as set out below. The Remaining Group also holds two investment properties in Guangzhou and Hong Kong for regular leasing income. Currently, the Company has no intention to downsize the Remaining Group. The projects of the Remaining Group are either currently in pre-sale or will commence pre-sales in 2014. The Directors expect that increasing profits will be generated from those projects in the forthcoming years and therefore consider that the loss arising from the Disposal will not have material adverse effect to the Remaining Group’s profit and loss and its financial position.
I. Zhoutouzui Project
The project is held by a sino-foreign cooperative joint venture enterprise which is jointly controlled by the Company and a third party, 廣州港集團有限公司 (Guangzhou Port Group Co., Limited*), an original user of the land who is entitled to share 28% in GFA of the completed properties pursuant to a joint venture agreement entered into in 2001 which stipulates that the Remaining Group has to finance all construction costs of the entire development.

The development on the site of 43,609 sq.m. consists of 7 towers of residential apartments, offices, service apartments and a commercial complex in a total GFA of approximately 320,000 sq m., and underground car parking facilities in a total GFA of approximately 102,000 sq.m.. Up to the end of March 2014, the first floor of A1 tower, the underground second floor of A2/A3/A4 towers, and the third floor of A5/A6/A7 towers of the project were under construction. The showrooms and display areas of A3/A6/A7 towers are expected to open in October 2014 and be ready for pre-sale.
II. Yongzhou Project
Under the framework agreement entered into with the City Government of Yongzhou, Hunan province in 2011, two subsidiaries of the Company are contracted to develop the project located in Yongzhou, offering a total site area of 1,000 mu on which a GFA of about 1.6 million sq.m. is to be developed into residential, commercial complexes and street-front shops. As a condition to the grant of development rights, the project company is also obliged to manage the remodelling works of some scenic spots in Dongshan District of Yongzhou.
The first phase of the project, named as “Tianyu-huafu” (“天譽‧華府”), features a residential development of villas, apartments and retail shops with a total GFA of 212,000 sq.m. on a 106 mu site and is in full progress of construction. All properties on the site are on pre-sale and GFA of 79,325 sq.m. have been contracted up to the end of March 2014, generating a total contracted sales of approximately RMB250 million at an overall average selling price of RMB3,200 per sq.m..
Alongside with the development of Tianyu-huafu project, as part of the Group’s efforts in contributing to preserve the heritages in Yongzhou, a large historic temple in an area of over 20,000 sq.m. that was originated in Ming Dynasty is being rebuilt by the Remaining Group which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.
III. Tianhe Project
The equity interest in the project was sold to a third party in late 2010 at a gross consideration of RMB1.09 billion before deduction of finance and other costs that are to be borne by the Group which are yet to be ascertained. Taking into account the exchange of the overdue debt of RMB130.1 million with the ownership rights of the office premises at the 32nd and 33rd floors of HNA Tower, Tianhe District, Guangzhou in December 2013, payments for the consideration totalling RMB995.3 million have been received from the purchaser. According to the transaction agreement, construction costs are to be borne by the purchaser whilst the Remaining Group resumes the role of a project manager and is responsible for the due completion of the properties at agreed timeline and construction costs.
As the Remaining Group is obliged to bear overruns in construction costs and indemnify the timely completion of the construction of the properties, the criteria for recognition of revenue set out in the Hong Kong accounting standard has not been met and hence the revenue arising from the disposal has been deferred and not yet recognised until when construction is close to completion and substantial part of the associated costs can be ascertained reliably.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The project, consisting of a GFA of approximately 113,000 sq.m. of two twin towers, will be developed into a hotel, serviced apartments and offices situated Tianhe District, a commercial business hub of the central city of Guangzhou. Up to the end of March 2014, the towers have been built up to 41 storeys though the progress had been adversely affected by the purchaser’s delays in payments of construction costs owed to contractors. The management of the Company perceives that the responsibility of the delay is on the purchaser whilst the Remaining Group has properly carried out its obligations and hence no claim from the purchaser is foreseen. Given the current progress of the construction and the fact that financing for construction has been recently obtained by the purchaser from a commercial bank and the construction costs are expected to be duly settled and the roof construction of the buildings are expected to be completed in June 2014, the Directors expect that the whole construction can be completed in the third quarter of 2015 as the Remaining Group’s latest work schedule when the sale transaction will be fully recorded in the accounts of the Remaining Group. With the current assessment of the costs to be borne by the Remaining Group according to the agreement in relation to the disposal, an estimated gain of RMB222.2 million will be recognised upon completion of the project.
IV. Nanning Project
In January 2014, the Remaining Group was successful in two tenders for two pieces of land in Wuxiang New District (五象新區), a new zone in Nanning, Guangxi province. The project, named as “Nanning Tianyu Garden” (“南寧天譽花園”), will be developed into a residential development with a GFA of approximately 1,177,000 sq.m., consisting of GFA of approximately 888,000 sq.m. for residential and ancillary commercial and other facilities and GFA of approximately 289,000 sq.m. for compensated housing and commercial properties for resettlement of the original occupants. Construction has been commenced and the management expects that the first phase of the project will be launched for pre-sale in the second half of the year 2014.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP
After the completion of the Disposal, the Remaining Group will be undergoing the four projects, two in Guangzhou, one in Nanning and one in Yongzhou with details in the section headed “Information on the Remaining Group” as set out in the Letter from the Board of this circular. Whilst the land premium for Nanning Project is being paid up on schedule according to the tender conditions, all other projects are self-financed by bank loans and sale proceeds received from the pre-sales of Zhoutouzui Project, Nanning Project and Yongzhou Project that will be commenced in 2014. Completion of the projects is due to happen throughout the years from 2014 to 2017. In light of the progress in the development of these projects and assuming that there are no unforeseeable adverse changes in the business environment affecting the development timelines and market demand in the property market in any material aspect, the cash generated from the operations of the Remaining Group will sufficiently serve to fulfill its obligations to its lenders and bondholders. The net cash position of the Remaining Group in the foreseeable years will be in positive upward trend that enables its acquisition of additional land and projects for future expansion.
6. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
Business Review and Outlook
Business review
For the year, the Remaining Group’s income from the leasing of properties was generated from the leasing of the commercial podium of Tianyu Garden Phase II in Guangzhou and AXA Centre in Wanchai, Hong Kong, contributed a net-of-tax revenue of RMB18.4 million, representing a decrease from the previous year. The decrease in leasing income was caused by the temporary vacancy in Tianyu Garden Phase II led by the moving out of a key tenant upon the expiry of the lease during the year, despite the leasing of the newly acquired office premises at the AXA Centre in Wanchai, Hong Kong.
Gross margin in leasing income for the year was 84.6%, remaining relatively stable as compared with the previous year.
With respect to operating expenses, sales and marketing expenses amounted to HK$8.4 million as the Remaining Group incurred costs in advertising and promotions and agent commission when the pre-sale of the first phase of Yongzhou Project continued in the current year. Overall administrative and other operating expenses amounted to RMB59.3 million, included as staff costs, being the biggest expense item, and have been stabilized as a result of the management’s strategy to streamline the staff force but at the same time offer competitive compensation packages to staff with suitable profiles.
During the year, the Remaining Group enjoyed a net exchange gain of RMB8.0 million as a result of the appreciations of RMB against HK dollar and US dollar in which some corporate loans are denominated, whilst a net exchange loss of RMB2.3 million was incurred in previous year as RMB went in a reverse direction against the two currencies in that year.
I-3
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Alongside with the Remaining Group’s increased borrowings to finance the construction of projects and the obtaining of corporate debts at higher finance costs, finance costs incurred during the year rose to RMB67.5 million. Due to the fact that the financing is mostly used for the development of all projects, nearly most of the finance costs incurred were capitalised as development costs. Out of the total finance costs, RMB0.8 million was charged against the profit for the year and the remaining RMB66.7 million was capitalised. Finance income of RMB27.7 million grew as a result of the interest income of RMB18.4 million received during the year from the purchaser of the equity interests in Tianhe Project for default in settlement of the overdue installment of consideration receivable for the disposal.
Non-operating items included the changes in fair values of investment properties of RMB36.1 million and gain of RMB4.2 million recognised on early redemption of an unsecured promissory note of a principal value of HK$96 million. The gain was offset by the net increase of RMB4.0 million in the fair values of the derivative financial liabilities embedded in the warrants issued by the Company to the lender of a secured loan of HK$298 million (equivalent to approximately RMB236.3 million) in 2012 for a guaranteed return of HK$29.8 million (equivalent to approximately RMB23.6 million) and the rights attached to the exchangeable bonds issued by the Company to a financial institution in a face value of HK$298 million (equivalent to approximately RMB236.3 million) in 2013 to empower the bondholders the rights to exchange the bonds for the equity interests in Guangzhou Zhoutouzui Development Limited (“ GZ Zhoutouzui ”), the rights to put the shares to the Company and the Company’s right to buy back the shares.
The Company had a post-tax profit of RMB22.9 million for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Company.
Properties under development and land reserves
Adding to the land for the development of the Nanning Tianyu Garden which was acquired in January 2014, the Remaining Group is undergoing four real estate development projects in mainland China during the year. Up to 24 March 2014, being the date of the 2013 Annual Report, the Remaining Group’s projects on hand renders a land reserve for property development of a total GFA of approximately 1.9 million sq.m., all of which are now under construction.
Zhoutouzui Project
The project is held by a sino-foreign cooperative joint venture enterprise which is jointly controlled by the Company and a third party, 廣州港集團有限公司 (Guangzhou Port Group Co., Limited*), an original user of the land who is entitled to share 28% in GFA of the completed properties pursuant to a joint venture agreement entered into in 2001 which stipulates that the Remaining Group has to finance all construction costs of the entire development.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The site, opposite to the renounced White Swan Hotel, offers a full waterfront view of the Pearl River. The development on the site of 43,609 sq.m. consists of 7 towers of residential apartments, offices, service apartments and a commercial complex in a total GFA of approximately 320,000 sq m., and underground car parking facilities in a total GFA of approximately 102,000 sq.m. Up to the end of February 2014, construction is in full progress and three towers are built up to second floor as of the end of February 2014 and the others at the basement floors. Given the satisfactory progress of the construction, the management expects that pre-sales of some towers can be started in the second half of the year in 2014.
Yongzhou Project
Under the framework agreement entered into with the City Government of Yongzhou, Hunan province in 2011, two subsidiaries of the Remaining Group are contracted to develop the Yongzhou Project, offering a total site area of 1,000 mu on which a GFA of about 1.6 million sq.m. is to be developed into residential, commercial complexes and street-front shops. As a condition to the grant of development rights, the project company is also obliged to manage the remodelling works of some scenic spots in Donshan District of Yongzhou. The entire project covers a development period of 6 years.
The first phase of the Project, named as “Tianyu-huafu” (“天譽‧華府”), features a residential development of villas, apartments and retail shops with a total GFA of 212,000 sq.m. on a 106 mu site and is in full progress of construction. All properties on the site are on pre-sale and GFA of 70,814 sq.m. have been contracted up to the end of February 2014, generating a total contracted sales of approximately RMB224 million at an overall average selling price of RMB3,200 per sq.m..
Alongside with the development of Tianyu-huafu Project, as part of the Remaining Group’s efforts in contributing to preserve the heritages in Yongzhou, a large historic temple in an area of over 20,000 sq.m. that was originated in Ming Dynasty was being rebuilt by the Remaining Group which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.
Tianhe Project
The equity interest in the project was sold to a third party in late 2010 at a gross consideration of RMB1.09 billion before deduction of finance and other costs that are to be borne by the Remaining Group which are yet to be ascertained. Taking into account the exchange of the overdue debt of RMB130.1 million with the ownership rights of the office premises at the 32nd and 33rd floors of HNA Tower, Tianhe District, Guangzhou in December 2013, payments for the consideration totalling RMB995.3 million have been received from the purchaser. According to the transaction agreement, construction costs are to be borne by the purchaser whilst the Remaining Group resumes the role of a project manager and is responsible for the due completion of the properties at agreed timeline and construction costs.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
As the Remaining Group is obliged to bear overruns in construction costs and indemnify the timely completion of the construction of the properties, the criteria for recognition of revenue set out in the Hong Kong accounting standard has not been met but the revenue arising from the disposal be deferred and not yet recognised until when construction is close to completion and substantial part of the associated costs can be ascertained reliably.
The project, consisting of a GFA of approximately 113,000 sq.m. of two twin towers, will be developed into a hotel, serviced apartments and offices situated Tianhe District, a commercial business hub of the central city of Guangzhou. Up to the end of February 2014, the towers have been built up to 37 storeys though the progress had been adversely affected by the purchaser’s delays in payments of construction costs owed to contractors. The management perceives that the responsibility of the delay is on the purchaser whilst the Remaining Group has properly carried out its obligations and hence no claim from the purchaser is foreseen. Given the current progress of the construction and the fact that financing for construction has been recently obtained by the purchaser from a commercial bank and the construction costs are expected to be duly settled, the Directors expect that the construction can be completed in the third quarter of 2015 as the Remaining Group’s latest work schedule when the sale transaction will be fully recorded in the accounts of the Remaining Group. With our current assessment of the costs to be borne by the Remaining Group according to the agreement in relation to the disposal, an estimated gain of RMB222.2 million will be recognised upon completion of the project.
Nanning Project
In January 2014, the Remaining Group was successful in two tenders for two pieces of land in Wuxiang New District (五象新區), a new zone in Nanning, Guangxi province. The project, recently named as “Nanning Tianyu Garden” (“南寧天譽花園”), will be developed into a residential development with a GFA of approximately 1,177,000 sq.m., consisting of GFA of approximately 888,000 sq.m. for residential and ancillary commercial and other facilities and GFA of approximately 289,000 sq.m. for compensated housing and commercial properties for resettlement of the original occupants. Construction has been commenced and the management expects that the first phase of the project will be launched for pre-sale in the second half of the year 2014.
Investment properties
The Remaining Group also holds two investment properties for regular leasing income with details as follows:
A 20,000 sq.m. commercial podium at Tianyu Garden Phase II in Tianhe District, Guangzhou with an open market value at RMB530.0 million as at 31 December 2013. On 24 March 2014, the date of the 2013 Annual Report, the property is 63.4% occupied and tenanted with renowned corporations. The occupancy rate of the property during the year has been affected by the vacancy of floor areas when the US consulate, a key tenant of the premise, moved out upon the expiry of the lease.
I-6
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
A total of 14,500 sq.ft. office premise at the whole floor at AXA Centre in Wanchai, Hong Kong was acquired by the Remaining Group in April 2013. The property is currently vacant pending the soliciting new tenants after the past tenant moved out upon maturity of the tenancy in December 2013. The property is revalued at an open market value of HK$230.0 million (approximately RMB180.8 million) as at 31 December 2013.
Outlook
The outlook of the economic growth of China and many emerging markets turned gloomy when the domestic output of China slowed down and the investment sentiment in the emerging markets went low amid the outflow of capital. However, property market on the mainland continued to outperform as evidenced by the record-high property selling prices and auction prices of lands in 2013. On the other hand, the central bank, being aggrieved by the galloping volume of off-balance sheet lending, has tightened capital to commercial banks, making lending on the mainland more difficult. To counter the uncertainty in the finance market on which the financing for acquisition of projects is relied, the Remaining Group is striving to maintain a solid financial position that enables the Remaining Group to obtain sufficient finance for the acquisition of projects so as to enlarge the land reserves of the Remaining Group and keep the business sustainable. On 24 March 2014, being the date of the 2013 Annual Report, the Remaining Group has financing facilities granted from commercial banks and a trust loan in aggregate of RMB1,719.3 million (of which borrowings of RMB440.6 have been drawn down) and financing in a total of HK$596 million obtained from a secured loan extended to the Company in 2012 by a financial institution and an issue of secured bonds by the Company to the same group in 2013. In addition, pre-sales of the Yongzhou Project have been providing sufficient working capital to finance the ongoing construction costs of the Yongzhou Project, making the completion of the project beyond doubts.
The management plans to sustain a continuing growth in sales and earnings to the Company’s shareholders and is therefore aggressive to replenish land for future development in the years to come but remains prudent to look for projects with relatively low acquisition costs and attractive earning potential. The project in Nanning demonstrates another good start-off in our expansion plan in southern China.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
Capital structure and liquidity
During the year under review, the Company has issued secured bonds in a principal value of HK$298 million (equivalent to approximately RMB236.3 million) to a financial institution. The bonds, together with an existing loan with a principal amount of HK$298 million extended by the same group of entities in a financial institution, is secured by the entire issued shares of GZ Zhoutouzui, the immediate holding company of the project company holding the Zhoutouzui Project. Besides, the secured bonds are embedded with derivative financial liabilities comprising a right to the bondholders to exchange for some issued shares of GZ Zhoutouzui and a subsequent right to put the shares to the Company for redemption and the Company a right to call. The proceeds of the issue were used for general working capital of the Remaining Group and repayment of a money market loan of US$18.6 million and outstanding balance of a promissory note issued
I-7
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
for the acquisition of the office premise at AXA Centre in Wanchai in the year. To finance the development of projects (other than Tianhe Project) being undergone by the Remaining Group and the acquisition of AXA Centre, additional bank loans in a total of RMB413.9 million were drawn down during the year, net of repayments of bank loans and other borrowings totaling RMB196.6 million. At the year-end, the Remaining Group was indebted to commercial banks for two term loans of an outstanding total of RMB368.5 million for the financing of the construction costs of the Remaining Group’s projects, a term loan and revolving loan totaling RMB72.1 million due to a commercial bank for the financing of the acquisition of AXA Centre and general working capital of the Company, the secured loan and bonds with outstanding indebtedness totaling RMB452.8 million, and derivative financial liabilities embedded with the secured loan extended by a lender and bonds issued to a bondholder presented at fair values totaling RMB27.8 million. These indebtedness of the Remaining Group was aggregated to RMB921.2 million as at 31 December 2013. The gearing ratio (calculated as total indebtedness net of cash and cash equivalents (the “ Net Debt ”) divided by the equity attributable to shareholders of the Company plus Net Debt) was 22.6% at the year-end date. The increase in the gearing ratio reflects the rise in the Remaining Group’s indebtedness to cope with the expansion in the development business. Nonetheless, the management believes that the indebtedness level is still at a comfortably low level which the Remaining Group can meet with as when the relevant debts mature.
In the year, all development projects were in construction stage, building up development costs in properties under development to RMB1,754.0 million. Current assets were aggregated to RMB2,545.6 million as at the year-end date. Apart from the properties under development or held for sale, current assets comprised trade deposits paid to contractors and other deposits and receivable of RMB405.0 million, and bank balances totaling RMB382.2 million.
Total current liabilities at the year-end amounted to RMB657.9 million. The current liabilities comprised pre-sale deposits of RMB145.1 million, the outstanding amount of RMB228.8 million for the secured loan in 2012 and the current portion of bank borrowings of RMB72.1 million, the current portion of the derivative financial liabilities totaling RMB24.0 million, and miscellaneous items in trade payables, accruals, and income tax payable with an aggregate amount of RMB187.9 million.
The current ratio showed further improvement which was 3.9 times as at 31 December 2013.
Borrowings and pledge of assets
The land and construction in progress in Yongzhou Project and Zhoutouzui Project, the office premise at the AXA Centre are mortgaged to commercial banks to secure for financing facilities granted to the subsidiaries engaged in the development projects and investment property holding. The secured loan and exchangeable bonds in the aggregated outstanding principal value of HK$596 million were also secured by a share charge over the entire issued shares of GZ Zhoutouzui. In addition, the property units in Tianyu Garden Phase II and the office premises at HNA Tower were mortgaged to a financial institution for a trust loan facility of RMB500.0 million granted to a subsidiary. As at 31 December 2013, bank loans in an aggregate amount of RMB440.6 million are outstanding whilst the trust loan facility was not yet drawn down.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Foreign Currency Management
The Remaining Group is principally engaged in property development activities which are all conducted in the PRC and denominated in RMB, the functional currency of the Company’s principal subsidiaries. At the same time, certain financing, investment holding and administrative activities of the Remaining Group are denominated in HK dollars.
During the year, RMB has been in mild appreciations against HK and US dollars. Foreign exchange gains were realised when transactions relating to the Hong Kong dollar denominated bonds and the leasing activities of the investment property in Hong Kong were transacted in Hong Kong dollars. Exchange differences arise on consolidation of assets and liabilities of some subsidiaries operated in Hong Kong which carry their books in HK dollars, resulting to an exchange gain of RMB0.3 million as at 31 December 2013 that is added to the exchange reserve, forming part of the equity of the Company. The Directors perceive that RMB will, in a longer run, still generally move in upward movements against HK dollars and foresee the Remaining Group has no significant adverse foreign currency exposure in the future. In the event of a depreciation of RMB against these foreign currencies, given the comparatively low levels of indebtedness and activities in which the HK dollars are denominated, such fluctuations will not have material unfavourable effect on the financial position of the Remaining Group. For these reasons, the Remaining Group does not hedge against its foreign currency risk. However, the management will closely monitor the currency exposures from time to time for any permanent or significant changes in the exchange rates in RMB against the HK dollars that may lead to adverse impact on the Remaining Group’s results and financial position.
Contingent Liabilities
The Remaining Group provides guarantees to the extent of RMB46.5 million as at 31 December 2013 in respect of mortgage facilities granted by certain banks relating to the mortgage loans arranged for the purchasers of the Remaining Group’s properties. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default in mortgage payments by these purchasers, the Remaining Group is responsible for repaying the outstanding mortgage principals together with accrued interest and penalty owed by the defaulted purchasers to the banks and the Remaining Group is entitled to take possession of the related properties. Such guarantees will terminate upon the delivery of properties and issuance of the relevant property ownership certificates to the property purchasers.
Employees
To keep pace with the growth of the Remaining Group, the Remaining Group is recruiting suitable staff in capable caliber from time to time. As at 31 December 2013, other than the Executive Directors, the Remaining Group employed 232 full-time staff working in site offices for property development and back offices in Hong Kong and Guangzhou for supporting services and central management. Employees are remunerated according to qualifications and experience, job nature and performance. They are incentivized by bonuses benchmarked on performance targets. Remuneration packages are aligned with job markets in the business territories where the staff is located.

Business Review and Outlook
Business review
For the year, the the Remaining Group maintains a relatively steady income of RMB20.7 million for the year from the leasing of the commercial floors at the Tianyu Garden Phase 2.
The gross margin for the year is 74.6%. Overall operating expenses for the year (comprising sales and marketing expenses, administrative and other expenses) amounted to RMB73.1 million. The increase was mainly reflected in the increased staff costs, as a result of the rise in headcount and pay levels.
Revaluation of investment properties of the Remaining Group leads to a gain in fair value change of RMB18.0 million for the year. The Remaining Group has to bear higher finance costs as compared with the previous year which are aggregated to a total of RMB57.1 million for the year, of which RMB47.0 million were capitalised as development costs of projects under construction, resulting in net finance costs of RMB10.1 million being charged against the operating profit for the year. The Remaining Group recorded a post-tax loss for the year was RMB35.6 million and loss attributable to shareholders of the Company amounted to RMB32.0 million.
At the end of the year, the Remaining Group has a land and property portfolio for development in the size of an aggregate GFA of approximately 700,000 sq.m., all under development. The property development in existing projects and projects in the pipeline are detailed as follows:
Properties held for or under development
Zhoutouzui Project
The project is held by a sino-foreign cooperative enterprise which is jointly controlled by the Company and two independent third parties, namely 廣州越秀企業(集團)公司 (Guangzhou Yuexiu Enterprise (Group) Company Limited), which has withdrawn from the joint arrangement, and 廣州港集團有限公司 (Guangzhou Port Group Co., Limited), an original user of the land entitled to share 28% in GFA of the completed properties pursuant to a cooperative agreement entered into in 2001 that stipulates that the Remaining Group has to finance all construction costs of the entire development.
The development on the site of 43,609 sq.m. consists of 7 towers of residential apartments, offices, service apartments, underground car parking facilities and a commercial complex in a total GFA of approximately 320,000 sq.m.. The site, opposite to the renounced White Swan Hotel, offers a full waterfront view of the Pearl River. The project company has obtained the land use right certificate for the site and construction permit for Phase 1 in respect of a total GFA of 97,000 sq.m. where foundation works are in progress. It is expected that construction permits for the remaining approximately GFA of 223,000 sq.m. will be received in the second quarter of 2013.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Yongzhou Project
In late 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the City Government of Yongzhou, Hunan province empowering certain subsidiaries, in which the Remaining Group holds 70% equity stake interest, to develop a composite property development project in Yongzhou. The entire project, offers a total site area of 1,000 mu on which a GFA of about 1.6 million sq.m., is planned to be developed into residential, commercial complex and retail shops. As a condition to the development, the project company is obligated to manage the remodelling works of certain scenic spots in the city surrounding the development sites.
The first phase of the development, named as Tianyu-huafu (“天譽‧華府”), is built on a land of 106 mu in the city for the development of residential properties consisting of villas, apartments and retail shops in a total GFA of approximately 212,000 sq.m.. Construction was commenced in the second quarter of the year and marketed in the third quarter. Up to the year end, contracted sales amounting to RMB50.0 million, representing 65% of the GFA available for presale, were achieved at an average selling price of approximately RMB3,220 per sq.m.. Remaining properties in the first phase are planned to be launched to the market throughout 2013 when the relevant pre-sale permits have been obtained.
Tianhe Project
The equity interest in the project was sold to a third party in late 2010 at a gross consideration of RMB1.09 billion before taking into account finance and other development costs that are to be borne by the Remaining Group that are yet to be ascertained. Construction costs of the project are to be borne by the purchaser whilst the Remaining Group resumes the role of a project manager. Payments totalling RMB845.0 million have been received from the purchaser so far. The agreement of the transaction also stipulates that the Remaining Group is to take up the responsibility in overruns of construction costs and indemnify the timely completion of the construction of the properties within the agreed timeline that is caused by factors under the control of the Remaining Group. Under these circumstances, the criteria for recognition of revenue arising from the disposal transaction set out in HKFRS has not been met despite the completion of the transaction in 2010. The associated costs cannot be ascertained at the moment and the revenue arising from the disposal has not been recognised and has been deferred to a time when substantial part of the associated costs can be ascertained reliably.
The construction of the Project was started in 2011 and the foundation works have been completed and two towers, consisting of a total GFA of approximately 113,000 sq.m. for a hotel, serviced apartments and offices, are being built on the site. The construction progress has been delayed beyond the originally agreed timeline due to the purchaser’s failure to make due payments of contractors’ costs. Nonetheless, the management perceives that the Remaining Group is honouring and has duly performed its obligations according to the conditions stipulated in the agreement that may otherwise subject to claims by the purchaser in the event of default. The Directors foresee no overruns in construction costs and finance costs in material aspects to which the Remaining Group is exposed and expect that construction will be completed in 2015, taking into account the current progress of the construction and assuming the purchaser making due payments from the date of this report, when the sale transaction can be recorded and gain from disposal recognised.

APPENDIX I
Nanning Project
In late 2012, the Remaining Group entered into a framework agreement with the city government of Wuxiang New District (五象新區) in Nanning, Guangxi province in relation to a residential development with a GFA of approximately 1,134,000 sq.m., consisting of GFA of approximately 825,000 sq.m. of residential and ancillary commercial and other facilities for sale, and GFA of approximately 277,000 sq.m. of compensated housing and commercial units for the resettlement of the original occupants of the land. The land auction process is on the way.
Properties held for leasing
A 20,000 sq.m. commercial podium at Tianyu Garden Phase 2 in Tianhe District, Guangzhou. The property was 82% occupied at 15 March 2013, tenanted with renowned corporations and a US consulate.
Outlook
In 2012, the global economy has been very volatile when continuously exposed to the European sovereign debt crisis that affected adversely the market sentiment. Coupled with the continuing stringent austerity measures taken by the central government of the PRC imposed on the real estate developers, it has been a difficult time in the year to get necessary financing for developers in general despite that the Remaining Group is not really badly affected due to its low gearing position and it successfully completed an issue of rights shares raising funds of net proceeds of approximately HK$364 million (equivalent to RMB297 million) and a term loan at corporate level of HK$298 million (equivalent to RMB242 million). These fund raising exercises result to an improved equity base of the Company and provide funds for the acquisition of new projects. In addition, operating subsidiaries have obtained bank facilities to the extent of RMB1,216.0 million to help the construction of two ongoing projects.
Starting from the last quarter of 2012 when the PRC economy starts to resume its economic growth, the US economy shows signs of recovery whilst the threats of the deteriorating economic performance of the euro zone are fading out, the market sentiment has been improving. Coupled with the solid demand for properties in the PRC real estate market as indicated by the rises in both selling prices and sale volume of properties late in the year, we believe that the worst scenario will not materialise but a brighter business outlook is well expected. Thanks to the improving liquidity in the capital market, we believe that new fund raising for project acquisition will be easier in the coming year. Nonetheless, whilst keeping on enlarging the Remaining Group’s land reserve to ensure a steady growth in its business in the future years, the directors are posing a prudent but active approach in seeking suitable and affordable projects with earning potentials.

Liquidity and Financial Resources
Capital structure and liquidity
As at 31 December 2012, the Remaining Group was indebted to PRC commercial banks for working capital loan and construction loans totalling RMB97.0 million secured by land and property mortgages, one money market loan of US$18.6 million (equivalent to RMB117 million) secured by short-term bank deposits totaling RMB126.0 million, a secured loan with guaranteed return in the principal value of HK$298.0 million (equivalent to RMB241.6 million) and at fair value of RMB214.0 million together with warrants and guarantee issued to the lender at retrospective fair values of RMB6.1 million and RMB11.9 million, other unsecured borrowing due to a third party of RMB14.4 million and warrants at fair value of RMB1.2 million issued to an exbondholder. The indebtedness, inclusive of the money market loan that is secured back-to-back by bank deposits, summed up to RMB461.4 million.
Assuming the Disposal is completed as at 31 December 2012 and the proceeds received as cash, the Remaining Group will have a negative net debt position of RMB259.4 million (represented by total indebtedness of RMB461.4 million comprising bank and other borrowings, money market loan, secured loan and warrants, net of cash and bank balances and bank deposits securing for the money market loan) as at 31 December 2012.
Total current assets amounted to RMB2,288.8 million as at 31 December 2012. Current assets comprise properties held under development in Zhoutouzui and Yongzhou of RMB1,311.8 million, consideration receivable for the disposal of Tianhe Project of RMB116.7 million, cash on hand and bank balances of RMB594.8 million, restricted bank balances of RMB126.0 million used to secure for the money market, and deposits made to contractor of Zhoutouzui project and other deposits totalling RMB139.5 million.

APPENDIX I
Borrowings and pledge of assets
As at 31 December 2012, to secure for banking facilities granted to operating subsidiaries to finance for working capital and construction costs by a commercial bank in mainland China, mortgages of property interests in Tianyu Garden Phase II, works in progress and land of the projects under development were created in favour of the lending bank. To secure the back-to-back guarantee given by a local bank in mainland China created in favour of a Hong Kong-based bank for a money market loan facility of US$18.6 million, bank deposits of approximately RMB126.0 million were placed in the bank accounts in mainland China as a security. The secured loan with guaranteed return in the principal value of HK$298.0 million made during the year was secured by a share charge over the entire issued shares of GZ Zhoutouzui, the holding company of 廣州市譽城 房地產開發有限公司 (Guangzhou Yucheng Real Estate Development Company Limited).
Foreign Currency Management
The Remaining Group is principally engaged in property development activities which are all conducted in the PRC and denominated in RMB, the functional currency of the Company’s principal subsidiaries. At the same time, certain financing activities of the Remaining Group are denominated in other currencies, such as the money market loan, the loan with guaranteed return and secured bond that are denominated in US or Hong Kong dollars.
Movements of RMB against HK and US dollars are in small steps during the year. The Remaining Group incurred a small foreign exchange loss of RMB0.02 million arises on consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Hong Kong subsidiaries that was charged against the foreign exchange reserve amounting to a balance of RMB0.4 million as at 31 December 2012 that is added to the equity of the Company. The directors perceive that RMB will continuously move in upward trend against the US and HK dollars and foresee the Remaining Group has no significant adverse foreign currency exposure in the future throughout the maturity periods of the related loans and bonds. In the event of a depreciation of RMB against these foreign currencies, given the low levels of loans, such fluctuations will not have material unfavourable effect on the financial position of the Remaining Group. For these reasons, the Remaining Group does not hedge against its foreign currency risk. However, the management will monitor the currency exposures from time to time for any permanent or significant changes in the exchange rates in RMB against the HK and US dollars that may lead to adverse impact on the Remaining Group’s results and financial position.
Contingent Liabilities
The Remaining Group had no material contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2012.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
In addition to the new Yongzhou Project, the Remaining Group also holds development rights in one development project and a sold project for which obligations in construction of the project are yet to complete. The status of these projects is as follows:
Zhoutouzui Project
The project is held by a sino-foreign cooperative joint venture enterprise which is jointly controlled by the Remaining Group and two other independent third parties, namely 廣州越秀企 業(集團)公司 (Guangzhou Yuexiu Enterprise (Group) Company Limited) (which interest was withdrawn in 2012) and 廣州港集團有限公司 (Guangzhou Port Group Co., Limited), the former being the original land use right holder with no vested interest in the project and the latter being an original user of the land who is entitled to share 28% in GFA of the completed properties pursuant to a joint venture agreement entered into in 2001 which stipulates that the Remaining Group has to finance all construction costs of the entire development.
The development on the site of 43,609 sq.m. consists of 7 towers of residential apartments, offices, hotel, service apartments, underground car parking facilities and a commercial complex in a total GFA of approximately 320,000 sq.m.. The site, opposite to the renounced White Swan Hotel, offers a full waterfront view of the Pearl River.

Payments totalling RMB858.1 million have been received from the purchaser so far. As the Remaining Group is obliged to bear overruns of construction costs and indemnify the timely completion of the construction of the properties within the agreed timeline, the criteria for recognition of revenue set out in HKFRSs have not been met. The revenue cannot be ascertained at the moment and is not recognised in the current year and deferred to a time when substantial part of such revenue can be ascertained reliably. The construction of the Project started in 2011 and the foundation works are close to completion.
The Remaining Group also holds an investment property with details as follows:
Investment property

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Outlook
In the past year, the European sovereign debt crisis and the stringent austerity measures taken by the central government of the PRC imposed on the real estate developers has left the field players tightened financial resources and a depressed demand for mainland properties. Nonetheless, thanks to the reduced leverage, the Remaining Group has been able to contest the threats by obtaining additional financing to help in the development of its projects. With the comparative advantage of low leverage, the Remaining Group is in a better position to sustain a stable growth in its business.
In the recent months, the global markets are becoming stable while the debt crisis in Greece has been temporarily settled. We are in solid belief that the market outlook will become clearer when the central government will adopt a more lenient approach in its control measures towards developers. Having said, however, the Directors will not overlook the market risks and remain prudent in its business strategies, but at the same time, will continue to seek suitable and affordable opportunities to sustain a steady growth in the Remaining Group’s future business. Apart from the newly acquired Yongzhou Project, during the year under review, the Remaining Group won a bid for the right to develop a project in a new town in Nanning, Guangxi province for a residential development with an estimated GFA of approximately 1,000,000 sq.m.. Binding agreement will be entered into subject to successful negotiations with the district government of Nanning about the detailed terms of the development later in the year 2012. The investment, if crystalised, will further enhance the cash flow and earnings of the Remaining Group in the coming few years.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
Capital structure and liquidity
As at 31 December 2011, the Remaining Group is indebted to a commercial bank for working capital and construction costs totaling RMB73.5 million, two money market loans totaling US$67.7 million (equivalent to RMB425.4 million) secured by two short-term bank deposits totaling RMB487.6 million, secured bonds in the principal value of HK$200.0 million (equivalent to RMB151.6 million) with warrants (carrying amount of RMB4.4 million) issued to the holder of the bonds and other unsecured borrowing due to a third party of RMB80.0 million.
The total indebtedness excludes deferred income of RMB977.4 million which is represented by the estimated net consideration received and receivable from the disposal of Tianhe Project for which the related revenue will be recognised at the time when the revenue relating to the performance of the obligations of the Remaining Group can be ascertained.
Assuming the Disposal is completed as at 31 December 2011 and the proceeds received in cash, the Remaining Group will have a negative net debt position of RMB189.9 million (represented by total indebtedness of RMB734.9 million comprising bank and other borrowings, money market loans, bonds, net of cash and bank balances and bank deposits securing for the money market loans) as at 31 December 2011.
I-17
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
During the year, construction works of all projects have commenced and hence related development costs incurred in these projects were reclassified as current assets. Current assets totaled RMB2,273.6 million as at 31 December 2011. Apart from the properties under development amounting to RMB1,116.0 million, the current assets at the current year-end date comprise mainly consideration receivable arising from the disposal of Huan Cheng of RMB111.8 million, restricted and pledged deposits of RMB487.6 million are restricted deposits of used to secure for the money market loan facilities, deposits made to the contractor of Zhoutouzui project and other deposits totaling RMB115.9 million.
Total current liabilities amounted to RMB651.5 million. The current liabilities at the current year-end date comprise, other than the indebtedness of secured money market loans, the current portion of loans for working capital and construction costs financing due to commercial banks and unsecured loan due to a third party as mentioned above, miscellaneous items in trade payables, other payables and accruals totaling RMB34.0 million and income tax payable of RMB100.6 million.
As the effect on the surge in current assets, the current ratio shows 3.5 times at the current year-end.
Borrowings and pledge of assets
As at 31 December 2011, to secure for banking facilities granted to operating subsidiaries to finance for working capital and construction costs by a commercial bank in mainland China, mortgages of property interests in Tianyu Garden Phase II were created in favour of a lending bank. To secure the back-to-back guarantees given by two local banks in mainland China to a Hong Kong-based bank for money market loan facilities of US$67.7 million, bank deposits of approximately RMB487.6 million were placed in bank accounts in mainland China. The bonds in the principal value of HK$200 million issued during the year were secured by the 963,776,271 shares of the Company, constituting 65.2% of the total issued shares of the Company held indirectly by Mr. YU Pan, the controlling shareholder of the Company, and a personal guarantee of Mr. YU.
Foreign Currency Management
The Remaining Group is principally engaged in property development activities which are all conducted in the PRC and denominated in RMB, the functional currency of the Company’s principal subsidiaries. At the same time, certain financing activities of the Remaining Group are denominated in other currencies, such as the money market loans and the guaranteed bonds which are in US dollars and Hong Kong dollars respectively.
I-18
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Due to the steady appreciation of RMB against HK and US dollars during the year, a foreign exchange gain arises on consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Hong Kong subsidiaries, resulting an exchange reserve of RMB0.3 million as at 31 December 2011 that is added to the equity of the Company. Since the US and HK dollars are pegged whilst RMB moves in gradual and upward trend against the US and HK dollars, the Remaining Group foresees no significant possible foreign currency adverse exposure in the foreseeable future but appreciations in the exchange rates of RMB against HK and US dollars. Such fluctuations will not have unfavourable effect on the financial position of the Remaining Group. For these reasons, the Remaining Group does not hedge against its foreign currency risk. However, any permanent or significant changes in the exchange rates in RMB for HK and US dollars and in the peg system of US dollars with HK dollars may have possible impact on the Remaining Group’s results and financial position.
Contingent Liabilities
The Remaining Group had no material contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2011.
Employees
To keep pace with the growth of the Remaining Group after the acquisitions of projects, the Remaining Group recruits suitable staff in capable caliber. As at 31 December 2011, other than the Executive Directors, the Remaining Group employed 147 staff for property development and central management. Employees are remunerated according to qualifications and experience, job nature and performance. Remuneration packages are aligned with job markets in the business territories.

APPENDIX IV
Valuation Basis and Assumption
Our valuations of the Properties exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.
In the course of our valuation of the Properties held by the Group in the PRC, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for its specific term at nominal annual land use fee have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the information and advice given by the Group and the PRC legal opinion of the Company’s legal adviser, Guangdong Guardian Law Firm (廣東國鼎律師事務所), regarding the title to the Properties and the interests in the Properties. In valuing the Properties, we have assumed that the owners have enforceable title to the Properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the Properties for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted.
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, pledges or amounts owing on the Properties nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is valued on the basis that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values.

In valuing the Property in Group I, which is held by the Group for sale in the PRC, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.
In valuing the Property in Group II, which are held by the Group for development in the PRC, we have valued it on the basis that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the Group’s latest development proposal provided to us.
