Consideration

The total consideration for the Share Repurchase is HK$282,900,000, equivalent to HK$1.23 per Repurchase Share, and is payable in cash.

Conditions to Completion

Completion will be conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (a) the Executive granting the Whitewash Waiver and approving the Share Repurchase;

  • (b) the passing at the EGM (by such requisite majority of votes cast on a poll and with such person(s) as required by law, the Company’s articles of association, the Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and/or the Repurchase Code abstaining from voting) of resolutions approving (i) the Share Repurchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the Whitewash Waiver;

  • (c) the Company having suffi cient reserves to effect the Share Repurchase;

  • (d) all consents or approvals of any relevant government authorities or other relevant regulatory bodies in Hong Kong which are required by Penta for entering into and the implementation of the Share Repurchase Agreement having been obtained;

  • (f) no indication being received that any necessary consents or approvals (if required) from the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands for the implementation of the transaction contemplated under the Share Repurchase Agreement not having been obtained.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Funding the Share Repurchase

The Company will fund the Share Repurchase from the Company’s cash reserves. Under the Companies Law, any repurchase of Shares by the Company may only be funded out of the Company’s profi ts, a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, the Company’s share premium account, or if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profi ts of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. The Company has suffi cient funds available as required under the Companies Law to effect the Share Repurchase.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE

In considering to proceed with the Share Repurchase, the Company has taken into consideration that:

  • (i) the Share Repurchase is a good opportunity for the Company to utilise its surplus cash to enhance the earning per Share and the rate of return on capital;

  • (ii) the Repurchase Price is at a discount of approximately 12.1% to the closing price of HK$1.40 per Share on the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) given the thin trading volume in the Shares, it is a good opportunity for the Company to repurchase a signifi cant block of Shares without affecting the normal trading of the Shares in terms of price and volume; and

  • (iv) the Share Repurchase will result in approximately 8.5% enhancement in net asset value per Share based on unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at 30 September 2011.

In view of the above, the Board believes that the terms of the Share Repurchase are fair and reasonable and the Share Repurchase is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE AND WHITEWASH WAIVER

The unaudited pro forma consolidated fi nancial information of the Group upon Completion illustrating the fi nancial impact of the Share Repurchase and the Whitewash Waiver on the assets and liabilities of the Group is set out in appendix II to this circular.

Based on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of fi nancial position of the Group as set out in appendix II to this circular and assuming Completion had taken place on 31 March 2012, as a result of Completion, (i) the total assets would decrease by approximately 1.8% from approximately HK$16,393.3 million to approximately HK$16,103.4 million; (ii) the total liabilities would remain unchanged at approximately HK$7,893.3 million; (iii) the net assets value attributable to the Shareholders (i.e. excluding the non-controlling interests) would decrease by approximately 3.9% from approximately HK$7,451.6 million to approximately HK$7,161.7 million; and (iv) the working capital (i.e. net current assets) would decrease by approximately 8.6% from approximately HK$3,369.0 million to approximately HK$3,079.1 million. Nevertheless, as the number of issued Shares would decrease from 1,959,757,076 Shares to 1,729,757,076 Shares, the net asset value attributable to the Shareholders per Share would be enhanced by approximately 8.9% from approximately HK$3.80 to approximately HK$4.14.

It is expected that, on a pro forma basis, the Share Repurchase and the Whitewash Waiver will not have fi nancial impact on the results of the Group and the net profi t attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2012 would remain unchanged at approximately HK$448.1 million. On a per Share basis, as the number of issued Shares would decrease from 1,959,757,076 Shares to 1,729,757,076 Shares, the earnings per Share would be enhanced by approximately 13.3% from approximately HK$0.2287 to approximately HK$0.2591.

The Group adopts a cautious approach in the country. Most land and assets were acquired many years ago and has relatively low cost base.

In Hong Kong, residential property prices has gone up so far this year despite market cautiousness. Low interest rate environment and abundance of liquidity have supported the market well. The Group has interest in residential development projects. In addition, the Group has investment property and a hotel portfolio in Hong Kong. Recent hotel transaction in the market and the Group’s recent transaction involving disposal of Dorsett Regency hotel in Kennedy Town at a substantial gain is a good indication of good market appetite for hotel assets.

In Australia, general residential market is soft. However the Group believes the Australian central bank’s recent move to reduce interest rate will help to improve market. The Group has signifi cant presence in Melbourne with its Upper West Side project which is a residential development project. The Group has recorded signifi cant pre-sale in Stages 1 and 2 of the Upper West Side project. The Group also has car park interest in Australia.

REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS

Repurchase Code

The Share Repurchase constitutes an off-market share repurchase by the Company under the Repurchase Code. The Company made an application to the Executive for approval of the Share Repurchase pursuant to Rule 2 of the Repurchase Code. The Executive’s approval, if granted, will normally be conditional upon, among other things, approval of the Share Repurchase by at least three-fourths of the votes cast on a poll by the Disinterested Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting to be held for such purposes.

As approval of the Executive of the Share Repurchase is a condition of the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company will not proceed to Completion unless the Executive approves the Share Repurchase pursuant to Rule 2 of the Repurchase Code. However, there is no assurance that such approval will be granted or that all the conditions precedent to the Share Repurchase Agreement will be fulfi lled.

Takeovers Code

Application for Whitewash Waiver

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Share Repurchase, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights under Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Sumptuous Concert Group is interested in 863,425,908 Shares, representing approximately 44.1% of the issued share capital of the Company. Save as the aforesaid, the Sumptuous Concert Group is not interested in any existing holding of voting rights or rights over the Shares. Assuming there are no changes to the shareholdings of the Sumptuous Concert

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Group and the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to Completion, immediately upon Completion, the percentage shareholding of the Sumptuous Concert Group will increase to approximately 49.9% of the reduced issued share capital of the Company upon Completion as a result of the Share Repurchase. In the circumstances, an obligation on the part of the Sumptuous Concert Group to make a general offer for all the Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Sumptuous Concert Group may arise as a result of the Share Repurchase. An application was made by Sumptuous to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, will also be subject to, among other things, the approval of the Disinterested Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll.

It is one of the conditions of the Share Repurchase Agreement that the Whitewash Waiver be granted by the Executive and approved by the Disinterested Shareholders at the EGM. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Disinterested Shareholders, the Share Repurchase Agreement will not become unconditional and cannot proceed.

Listing Rules

The Share Repurchase contemplated under the Share Repurchase Agreement constitutes a connected transaction (by virtue of Penta being a Substantial Shareholder of the Company) for the Company under the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the approval by the Disinterested Shareholders at the EGM.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The EGM will be held to consider and, if thought fi t, approve, among others, the Share Repurchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Whitewash Waiver. Notice of the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the funds and managed accounts to which Penta is the investment adviser were interested in 559,505,933 Shares, representing approximately 28.5% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Sumptuous Concert Group together hold 863,425,908 Shares, representing approximately 44.1% of the issued share capital of the Company. By reason of the requirements of the Repurchase Code, the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules, Penta and its concert parties and the Sumptuous Concert Group will abstain from voting at the EGM. Save for the aforesaid, no other Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions approving the Share Repurchase and the Whitewash Waiver.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you will be able to attend the EGM, please complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s Hong Kong share registrar, Tricor Standard Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof.

As indicated above, the portion of revenue generated from the Recurring Income Businesses has increased. For the Financial Year 2012, total revenue from the Recurring Income Businesses was HK$1,699.7 million, representing approximately 96.5% of the Group’s consolidated revenue or an approximately 22.1% increase as compare to the Financial Year 2011. For the six months ended 30 September 2011, the total revenue from the Recurring Income Businesses was HK$790.5 million, representing approximately 95.6% of the Group’s consolidated revenue or an approximately 26.5% increase as compare to the same period in 2010.

The increase in the Recurring Income Businesses’ revenue for the Financial Year 2012 as compared to the Financial Year 2011 was driven mainly by (a) the strong growth in room rates and occupancy rates achieved by the Group’s hotel operation, Kosmopolito Hotels International Limited (“KHI” or “Kosmopolito”); and (b) growth in car park operation by an increase of the number of car park bays under management.

As stated in the 2012 Results Announcement, the Company expects the number of hotel rooms under KHI’s management to increase to approximately 7,000 rooms within the coming three fi nancial years and with 3,000 car park bays added to the management portfolio during the Financial Year 2012, the Recurring Income Businesses will continue to contribute to the Group

Furthermore, the Company’s property development business has a strong pipeline which the Company expects to drive its growth in the coming years. As stated in the 2012 Results Announcement, the Group’s total cumulative presale value of properties under development was HK$4.8 billion as at 31 March 2012 whereby (i) presale value of properties under both stage 1 and stage 2 of The Upper West Side in Melbourne, Australia, had reached HK$4.0 billion; (ii) Star Ruby, Hong Kong recorded a presale value of HK$311 million; and (iii) Dorsett Regency Residences, Singapore recorded a presale value of HK$500 million.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC

With the continued growth of the abovementioned Recurring Incomes Businesses and a strong pipeline of property development, the Company’s management is of the view that the future prospect of the Company is promising.

b) Reasons for and benefi ts of the Share Repurchase

As noted from the section headed “Reasons for and benefi ts of the Share Repurchase” in the Letter from the Board, the management of the Company believes that the Share Repurchase will have benefi ts for Disinterested Shareholders as it presents a good opportunity for the Company to utilise its surplus cash to repurchase a signifi cant block of Shares without affecting the normal trading of the Shares in terms of price and volume, which alongside the reduction of the total number of Shares in the Company, may lead to improved fi nancial performance, as measured on a per Share basis.

The Share Repurchase presents the Company with an opportunity to repurchase its Shares at a pre-agreed price within a defi ned timeframe. This approach to a transaction may be benefi cial to the Disinterested Shareholders in comparison with an on-market transaction of a similar size. We have undertaken a liquidity analysis to assess the theoretical possibility of both an on-market share buy-back operation by the Company and a hypothetical scenario in which Penta selling its Shares through a secondary placement on the market. During the one year period ended on 16 April 2012, being the date when the Company entered into the Share Repurchase Agreement, the average daily trading volume of the Shares represented approximately 0.025%1 of the Company’s total number of Shares in issue. It also follows that were Penta to sell the agreed portion of its holding of 230,000,000 Shares to the public in the market, or were the Company to acquire a similar number of Shares from the market under its repurchase mandate, it would theortically requires a period of approximately 468 trading days. A transaction of this size, may well result in a signifi cant and sustained disturbance to the Share price, which may not be in the interests of Disinterested Shareholders. As such, an off-market transaction, whereby the Repurchase Price is agreed through an arm’s length commercial negotiation, is considered to be a better approach and less disruptive to the market.

Separately, the Repurchase Shares will be cancelled following Completion. The Company expects the Share Repurchase to have an accretive effect on its earnings per Share as the number of Shares in the Company’s issued share capital is expected to decrease from 1,959,757,076 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date to 1,729,757,076 Shares upon Completion. Please refer to the section headed “Financial effects of the Share Repurchase and Whitewash Waiver” in the Letter from the Board for further details.

In conclusion, we concur with the Director’s view that the Share Repurchase reduces the number of Shares in issue, which may have a positive fi nancial effect and may enhance per Share value and that an off-market transaction is an appropriate approach of share repurchase given the thin trading volume in Shares.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC

2. The Share Repurchase

On 16 April 2012, the Company announced that it entered into the Share Repurchase Agreement with Penta pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire and Penta agreed to dispose of 230,000,000 Shares. Following Completion, the Repurchase Shares will be cancelled and the number of Shares in issue will be reduced accordingly.

a) Repurchase Price analysis

The Directors stated that the Repurchase Price of HK$1.23 per Share was determined following arm’s length commercial negotiations between the Company and Penta, taking into account the movements in the price of the Shares over a period of time and prevailing market conditions. Based on an aggregate of 230,000,000 Shares to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the total consideration for the Repurchase Shares is HK$282,900,000.

The Repurchase Price of HK$1.23 per Share represents:

  • a) a discount of approximately 12.1% to the closing price of HK$1.40 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • b) a discount of approximately 9.6% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.36 per Share based on the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • c) a discount of approximately 10.2% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.37 per Share based on the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • d) a discount of approximately 10.9% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.38 per Share based on the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • e) a discount of approximately 12.1% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.40 per Share based on the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • f) a discount of approximately 12.8% to the closing price of HK$1.41 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • g) a discount of approximately 67.6% to the audited net asset value per Share attributable to Shareholders as at 31 March 2012 of approximately HK$3.80 per Share.

— 20 —

LETTER FROM INVESTEC

From the above analysis, we note that the Repurchase Price represents a discount to the average historical Share price over the 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and the Latest Practicable Date. The Repurchase Price also represents a discount of 67.6% to the audited net asset value per Share attributable to Shareholders as at 31 March 2012. Therefore, we are in the view that the Repurchase Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Disinterested Shareholders are concerned.

3. Effect of the Share Repurchase

We have reviewed the fi nancial effects of the Share Repurchase by comparing the (a) earnings per Share; (b) net asset value attributable to the Shareholders (“NAV”) per Share; (c) gearing; and (d) net current assets before the Share Repurchase with the respective pro forma fi gures after Completion for the year ended 31 March 2012. We have conducted the following analysis with the fi nancial information of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012, which refl ects the most recent fi nancial performance and position of the Group. The fi nancial effects of the Share Repurchase set out below have been prepared on the basis that the Company will fi nance the payment of the consideration for the Share Repurchase with its surplus bank balances and cash.

a) Earnings per Share

Table 2: Earnings per Share before and after Completion

Before
the Share Upon
Repurchase Completion Increase
Basic earnings per Share HK$0.23 HK$0.26 13.04%
Sources: the 2012 Results Announcement

As illustrated in Table 2 above, on a pro forma basis, the Share Repurchase would have resulted in an enhancement in consolidated basic earnings per Share from continuing operations of approximately 13.04% for the year ended 31 March 2012.

With reference to the section headed “Unaudited pro forma fi nancial information of the Group” in Appendix II to the Circular, the legal fee, fi nancial advisory fee and other professional fee in respect of the Share Repurchase and Whitewash Waiver of approximately HK$7 million is to be charged to the share premium account of the Company instead of the income statement. Hence, the Share Repurchase has no impact on the Group’s net profi t attributable to the Shareholders.

However, immediately following Completion, the number of Shares in issue will be reduced from 1,959,757,076 to 1,729,757,076 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date. Hence, the Group’s basic earnings per Share would be enhanced by approximately 13.04% from HK$0.23 to HK$0.26.

b) NAV per Share

Before
the Share Upon
Repurchase Completion Increase
NAV per Share HK$3.80 HK$4.14 8.95%

Sources: the section headedFinancial effects of the Share Repurchase and Whitewash Waiver” in the Letter from the Board and the section headedUnaudited pro forma fi nancial information of the Group” in Appendix II to the Circular As illustrated in Table 3a above, on a pro forma basis, the Share Repurchase would have enhanced the NAV per Share by approximately 8.95% as at 31 March 2012.

As stated in the section headed “Financial effects of the Share Repurchase and Whitewash Waiver” in the Letter from the Board, the Company’s net assets value attributable to the Shareholders would have decreased by approximately 3.89% from approximately HK$7,451.62 million to approximately HK$7,161.72 million due to the reduction of share capital and reserves of approximately HK$289.90 million following the cancellation of the Repurchase Shares upon completion of the Share Repurchase. Nevertheless, as the number of issued Shares would be decreased from 1,959,757,076 Shares to 1,729,757,076 Shares, the NAV per Share would be enhanced by approximately 8.95% from approximately HK$3.80 to approximately HK$4.14.

In addition, as stated in the 2012 Results Announcement, KHI recorded a revaluation surplus of HK$7,750 million over the carrying value of its hotel portfolio as at 31 March 2012 (the “Revaluation Surplus”) which was not recognised in the Company’s consolidated statement of fi nancial position. Taking that into account, we re-calculated the NAV per Share of the Group as per below:

Table 3b: NAV per Share before and after Completion

Sources: “Unaudited pro forma fi nancial information of the Group” in Appendix II to the Circular Note 1: relevant portion of the Revaluation Surplus attributable to the Group is calculated by multiplying the full amount of the Revaluation Surplus by the Group’s equity stake in KHI of 73.1%.

* Revaluation surplus on hotel assets of HK$7,750 million as at 31 March 2012 was not recognised in the Company ’s consolidated fi nancial statements, but adjusted for calculation of the NAV per Share.

As illustrated in Table 3b above, after taking into account of the Revaluation Surplus, on a pro forma basis, the enhancement in the NAV per Share would be even more favourable whereby the NAV per Share would be enhanced by approximately 10.91% from approximately HK$6.69 to approximately HK$7.42.

c) Gearing

Table 4a: Gearing before and after Completion

Before
the Share Upon

Total liability/total equity 92.86% 96.14% 3.28%

Sources: the section headedFinancial effects of the Share Repurchase and Whitewash Waiver” in the Letter from the Board and the section headedUnaudited pro forma fi nancial information of the Group” in Appendix II to the Circular

As illustrated in Table 4a above, on a pro forma basis, assuming that the Share Repurchase had taken place on 31 March 2012, the Share Repurchase would have resulted in an increase in the Group’s gearing (defi ned as total liability over total equity) from 92.86% to 96.14% or by approximately 3.28% primarily due to the reduction of share capital and reserves of approximately HK$289.90 million following the cancellation of the Repurchase Shares upon completion of the Share Repurchase.

Taking into account of the Revaluation Surplus, we re-calculated the gearing of the Group as per below:

* Revaluation surplus on hotel assets of HK$7,750 million as at 31 March 2012 was not recognised in the Company’s consolidated fi nancial statements, but adjusted for calculation of the gearing ratio.

From the above Table 4b, we noted that the increase in gearing is not signifi cant and taking into account of the Group’s bank balances and cash of HK$1.37 billion as of 31 March 2012, we concur with the Company’s view that the increase in gearing has no immediate adverse effect on the Company’s operation given its ability to meet outstanding short term repayment obligation under the assumption that the Company will fi nance the payment of the consideration for the Share Repurchase with its surplus bank balances and cash.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC

As illustrated in Table 5 above, on a pro forma basis, the Share Repurchase would have resulted in a decrease in net current assets (defi ned as current assets minus current liabilities) of approximately 8.60%.

Assuming the Share Repurchase had taken place on 31 March 2012, the Company’s net current assets as at 31 March 2012 would have decreased by HK$289.90 million from HK$3,369.04 million to HK$3,079.14 million, due to the deployment of bank balances and cash of HK$289.90 million for the funding of the Share Repurchase. In view of the Group’s bank balances and cash of approximately HK$1.37 billion as at 31 March 2012 and other available sources of fi nancing from domestic banks and other fi nancial institutions given the Group’s credit history, we consider such a decrease in net current assets as a result of the deployment of bank balances and cash for the funding of the Share Repurchase to be acceptable.

e) Shareholding structure

Following Completion, the Repurchase Shares will be cancelled and with reference to the section headed “Effects on Shareholding Structure of the Company” in the Letter from the Board, Penta’s shareholding will be reduced from 28.5% to 19.1%. The percentage shareholding interest of all other Shareholders in the issued share capital of the Company will be proportionately increased following the cancellation of the Repurchase Shares and the resulting reduction in the number of issued Shares.

As a result of the Share Repurchase, the interest of the public Shareholders in the Company’s total issued ordinary share capital will increase from approximately 27.4% to approximately 31.0%. As such, the Disinterested Shareholders who wish to retain their shareholdings in the Company will benefi t from the increase in their proportionate shareholding in the Company after Completion.

4. Other Consideration

a) Funding

As stated in the paragraph headed “Funding the Share Repurchase” in the Letter from the Board, the Company will fund the Share Repurchase from the Company’s cash reserves.

We have considered the strength of the Company’s balance sheet, as of 31 March 2012, its bank balances and cash amounted to HK$1.37 billion and the fi nancial effects of the Share Repurchase prepared on the assumption that the Company will fi nance the payment of the consideration for the Share Repurchase with its surplus bank balances and cash. As the Share Repurchase would have resulted in an enhancement in consolidated basic earnings per Share and NAV per Share on a pro forma basis as represented by the Company, also with the substantial bank balances and cash available to the Company, we consider it acceptable for the Company to deploy surplus bank balances and cash to fi nance the Share Repurchase.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC

b) Dividends

The Company paid a fi nal dividend of HK$0.05 per Share for the year ended 31 March 2011 and the Directors have proposed a fi nal dividend for the year ended 31 March 2012 of HK$0.05.

As confi rmed by the Company, there is no plan or intention to alter its present dividend policy due to the Share Repurchase.

c) Stamp duty

All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Share Repurchase Agreement and the transaction documents to which it is a party shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

Any Hong Kong stamp duty (including interest and penalties) payable in respect of the sale and purchase of the Repurchase Shares shall be borne as to one-half by the Company and as to one-half by Penta.

As far as we are aware, there are usually two common practices in the marketplace for the settlement of the stamp duty for off-market share dealings, the stamp duty is either paid entirely by the purchaser of the shares or split as to half and half by the purchaser and the seller and the fi nal arrangement is subject to commercial negotiations. We are of the view that the current arrangement (a) is a result of commercial negotiation between the parties concerned and (b) is in line with market practice. As such, we consider it to be on the whole, in the context of the Share Repurchase, fair and reasonable from the perspective of the Disinterested Shareholders.

V. THE WHITEWASH WAVIER

Following Completion, the interest of the Sumptuous Concert Group in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 44.41% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 49.9% of the reduced issued share capital of the Company. Accordingly, the Share Repurchase will result in a mandatory offer obligation for all the Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Sumptuous Concert Group on the Sumptuous Concert Group pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. An application has been made by Sumptuous to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, will also be subject to, among other things, the approval of the Disinterested Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll.

Based on our analysis of the business and fi nancial performance and future prospects of the Company, the Repurchase Price, and the effect of the Share Repurchase as set out above, we consider that the Share Repurchase is in the long-term interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is fair and reasonable as far as the Disinterested Shareholders are concerned. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or if the Whitewash Waiver is not approved by the Disinterested Shareholders, the Share Repurchase Agreement will be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Company will lose all the benefi ts that are expected to be brought by the successful completion of the Share Repurchase.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC

VI. RECOMMENDATION

In formulating our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Disinterested Shareholders, we have considered the above principal factors and reasons, in particular, the following:

  • a) the positive operating performance and solid fi nancial position of the Company;

  • b) the increase in the Disinterested Shareholders’ proportionate shareholding in the Company as Repurchase Shares will be cancelled upon Completion which is benefi cial to those who wish to retain their shareholdings in the Company;

  • c) the Share Repurchase Price of HK$1.23 per Share was determined following arm’s length commercial negotiations between the Company and Penta of which represents a 12.1% discount to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day and a discount of 67.6% to the audited net asset value per Share as at 31 March 2012 of the Company;

  • d) The positive pro forma fi nancial effects of the Share Repurchase on the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012, prepared on the assumption that the Company will fi nance the payment of the consideration for the Share Repurchase with its surplus bank balances and cash.

Based on the above, we are of the opinion that the Share Repurchase is in the interest of the Company and the terms of the Share Repurchase Agreement to be fair and reasonable so far as the Disinterested Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Disinterested Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions approving (i) the Share Repurchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Investec Capital Asia Limited Ambrose Lam Jimmy Chung Chief Executive Offi cer Executive Director

APPENDIX I

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets. HKFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes requirements for fi nancial liabilities and for derecognition.

Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described as follows:

  • HKFRS 9 required all recognised fi nancial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifi cally, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash fl ows, and that have contractual cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

  • The most signifi cant change of HKFRS 9 regarding the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial liabilities relates to the accounting for changes in the fair value of a fi nancial liability (designated as at fair value through profi t or loss) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifi cally, under HKFRS 9, for fi nancial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profi t or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the fi nancial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profi t or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a fi nancial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassifi ed to profi t or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the fi nancial liability designated as at fair value through profi t or loss was presented in profi t or loss.

HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier application permitted.

The directors anticipate that HKFRS 9 will be adopted in the Group’s fi nancial statements for the fi nancial period beginning 1 April 2015 and may have impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s equity available-for-sale investments currently stated at cost, which will be measured at fair value. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

New and revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosure

In June 2011, a package of fi ve standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011).

Key requirements of these fi ve standards are described below.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” that deal with consolidated fi nancial statements and HK(SIC) — Int 12 “Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities”. HKFRS 10 includes a new defi nition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures” and HK(SIC) — Int 13 “Jointly Controlled Entities — NonMonetary Contributions by Ventures”. HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classifi ed. Under HKFRS 11, joint arrangements are classifi ed as joint ventures and joint operations, depend on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three different types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting.

HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

— I-8 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

These fi ve standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these fi ve standards are applied at the same time.

The directors anticipate that these standards will be adopted in the Group’s fi nancial period beginning 1 April 2013. However, the application of these standards may not have signifi cant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defi nes fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both fi nancial instrument items and nonfi nancial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specifi ed circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The directors anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s fi nancial period beginning 1 April 2013 and the application of the new standard may result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal reporting about components that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. Information reported to the Group’s chief operating decision makers, who are the executive directors of the Company, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance is mainly focused on the property development, property investment, hotel operation and management, and car park operation in each of the geographical locations as stated below, securities and fi nancial product investments and other operations, which mainly include provision of engineering services and second mortgage loans.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the consolidated profi t for the year attributable to the owners of the Company of HK$448,102,000 (2011: HK$394,212,000) and the number of shares calculated as follows:

Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose
of basic earnings per share
Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares
— share options
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose
of diluted earnings per share

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 March 2012 did not assume the conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible bonds since their exercise would result in an increase in earnings per share. In addition, the computation does not assume the exercise of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s outstanding share options as the exercise prices of those options are higher than the average market prices of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s shares during the year.

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 March 2011 did not assume the conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible bonds since their exercise would result in an increase in earnings per share. In addition, the computation does not assume the exercise of its subsidiary’s outstanding share options as the exercise prices of those options are higher than the average market prices of its subsidiary’s shares.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2011

1. GENERAL

The Company is a public limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with its shares listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). The addresses of the registered offi ce and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information section to the annual report.

The principal activities of the Group are property development and investment, hotel operations, car park operation and treasury management.

During the year, the Company together with a subsidiary, Kosmopolito Hotels International Limited (“Kosmopolito” formerly known as Hong Kong Hotel REIT Holdings Limited) offered for sale of an aggregate of 540,000,000 ordinary shares of Kosmopolito to the public. Since then, Kosmopolito has been separately listed on the Stock Exchange on 11 October 2010 and the Company’s interest in Kosmospolito has been reduced from 100% to 73%. Details of the transactions are disclosed in note 38(a).

The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSS”)

New and revised Standards and Interpretations applied in the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations (“new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the HongKong Institute of Certifi ed Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2009
HKFRSs (Amendments) Amendments to HKFRS 5 as part of Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2008
HKFRS 2 (Amendments) Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions
HKFRS 3 (Revised in 2008) Business Combinations
HKAS 12 (Amendments) Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
HKAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
HKAS 32 (Amendments) Classif cation of Right Issues
HKAS 39 (Amendment) Eligible Hedged Items
HK(IFRIC) – Int 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
HK – Int 5 Presentation of Financial Statements — Classif cation by the Borrower of a Term Loan that
Contains a Repayment on Demand Clause

Except as disclosed below, the adoption of the new and revised HKFRSs in the current year has had no material effect on the consolidated fi nancial statements for the current or prior accounting periods.

(a) HKFRS 3 (revised in 2008) and HKAS 27 (revised in 2008)

The Group applied HKFRS 3 (revised in 2008) “Business Combinations” prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 April 2010. The requirements in HKAS 27 (revised in 2008) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” in relation to accounting for changes in ownership interests in a subsidiary after control is obtained and for loss of control of a subsidiary are also applied prospectively by the Group on or after 1 April 2010.

On application of HKAS 27 (revised in 2008), the gain resulting from the spin off of Kosmopolito of HK$417,926,000 has been recognised in equity. Details are set out in note 38(a). Had the previous accounting policy been applied, the gain would have been recognised in profi t or loss.

(b) Amendment to HKAS 17

As part of Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2009, HKAS 17 “Leases” has been amended in relation to the classifi cation of leasehold land. Before the amendment to HKAS 17, leasehold land was required to be classifi ed as operating leases and present as prepaid lease payments in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position. The amendment has removed

— I-25 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

such a requirement. Instead, the amendment requires that the classifi cation of leasehold land should be based on the general principles set out in HKAS 17, that are based on the extent to which risk and reward incidental to ownership of a leased asset lie with the lessor or the lessee.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of HKAS 17 “Lease”, the Group reassessed the classifi cation of unexpired leasehold land as at 1 April 2010 based on information that existed at the inception of leases. Leasehold lands that qualifi ed for fi nance lease classifi cation have been reclassifi ed from prepaid lease payments to property, plant and equipment retrospectively. As a result of the reclassifi cation of prepaid lease payments with carrying amounts of HK$1,203,562,000 and HK$1,208,997,000 as at 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010 respectively to property, plant and equipment, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are increased by the same amount from HK$3,141,956,000 and HK$4,239,885,000 as at 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010 to HK$4,345,518,000 and HK$5,448,882,000 and the prepaid lease payments are decreased from HK$1,520,345,000 and HK$1,969,257,000 as at 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010 to HK$316,783,000 and HK$760,260,000 respectively. The carrying amount of such leasehold land at 31 March 2011 of HK$1,056,220,000 has been included in property, plant and equipment. The application of the amendments to HKAS 17 has had no impact on the reported profi t or loss for the current and the prior periods.

(c) Hong Kong Interpretation 5

Hong Kong Interpretation 5 “Presentation of Financial Statements — Classifi cation by the Borrower of a Term Loan that Contains a Repayment on Demand Clause” (“HK Int 5”) clarifi es that term loans that include a clause that giving the lender the unconditional right to call the loans for repayment at any time (“repayment on demand clause”) should be classifi ed by the borrower as current liabilities. The Group has applied HK Int 5 for the fi rst time in the current year. HK Int 5 requires retrospective application.

In order to comply with the requirements set out in HK Int 5, the Group has changed its accounting policy on classifi cation of term loans with a repayment on demand clause. In the past, the classifi cation of such term loans were determined based on the agreed scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements. Under HK Int 5, term loans with a repayment on demand clause are classifi ed as current liabilities.

At the end of the reporting period, bank loans that contain a repayment on demand clause with the aggregate carrying amounts of HK$87,381,000 have been reclassifi ed from non-current liabilities to current liabilities. Such term loans have been presented in the earliest time band in the maturity analysis for fi nancial liabilities (see “liquidity risk” section in note 6b for details). As at 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010, the Group did not have any non-current bank loans that would be demanded for immediate repayment and therefore reclassifi cation is not required. The application of HK Int 5 has had no impact on the reported profi t or loss.

(d) Amendments to HKAS 12

Amendments to HKAS 12 “Income Tax” titled Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets have been applied in advance of their mandatory effective date (which is the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). Under the amendments, investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment Property” are presumed to be recovered through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted in certain circumstances.

As a result, the Group’s investment properties that are measured using the fair value model have been presumed to be recovered through sale for the purpose of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets. The remeasurement of deferred tax on the investment properties in Hong Kong and Singapore has resulted in a decrease in deferred tax liability by HK$109,336,000 and HK$128,870,000 at 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010 respectively with the corresponding adjustment being recognised in retained profi ts. The application of the amendment has resulted in profi t for the year increases by HK$44,813,000 as deferred tax is no longer provided for the fair value increase in certain investment properties.

APPENDIX I

New and revised standards and interpretation issued but not yet effective

Except for Amendments to HKAS 12 “Income Tax” disclosed above, the Group has not early applied the following new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:

HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs 20101 HKFRS 7 (Amendments) Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets4 HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments5 HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements5 HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements5 HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities5 HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement5 HKAS 24 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures3 HKAS 27 (Revised 2011) Separate Financial Statements5 HKAS 28 (Revised 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures5 HK(IFRIC) – Int 14 (Amendments) Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement3 HK(IFRIC) – Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments2

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 and 1 January 2011, as appropriate

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

HKFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets. HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as revised in November 2010) adds requirements for fi nancial liabilities and for derecognition.

  • Under HKFRS 9, all recognised fi nancial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifi cally, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash fl ows, and that have contractual cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

  • In relation to fi nancial liabilities, the signifi cant change relates to fi nancial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profi t or loss. Specifi cally, under HKFRS 9, for fi nancial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profi t or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the fi nancial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income wouldcreate or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profi t or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a fi nancial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassifi ed to profi t or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the fi nancial liabilities as at fair value through profi t or loss was presented in profi t or loss.

The directors anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 may have an impact on the measurement and classifi cation of the Group’s available-for-sale investments, which will be measured at fair value. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimateof that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

The directors anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the results and fi nancial position of the Group.

APPENDIX I

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated fi nancial statements included applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of HongKong Limited and by the HongKong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certaininvestment properties and fi nancial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods or services.

The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated fi nancial statements incorporate the fi nancial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company, its subsidiaries. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi t from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the fi nancial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein.

Allocation of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

Total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a defi cit balance. Prior to 1 April 2010, losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in excess of the non-controlling interests in the subsidiary’s equity were allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the non-controlling interests had a binding obligation and were able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries on or after 1 April 2010

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to refl ect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in other reserve and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profi t or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Where certain assets of the subsidiary are measured at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassifi ed to profi t or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.

— I-29 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries prior to 1 April 2010

Increases in interests in existing subsidiaries were treated in the same manner as the acquisition of subsidiaries, with goodwill or a bargain purchase gain being recognised where appropriate. For decreases in interests in subsidiaries, regardless of whether the disposals would result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries, the difference between the consideration received and the adjustment to the non-controlling interests was recognised in profi t or loss.

Business combinations

Business combinations that took place on or after 1 April 2010

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profi t or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifi able assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifi able assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profi t or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifi able net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value or another measurement basis required by another standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to refl ect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

Business combinations that took place prior to 1 April 2010

Acquisition of businesses was accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition was measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that met the relevant conditions for recognition were generally recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition was recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the recognised amounts of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after assessment, the Group’s interest in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeded the cost of the acquisition, the excess was recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

The non-controlling interest in the acquiree was initially measured at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.

Contingent consideration was recognised, if and only if, the contingent consideration was probable and could be measured reliably. Subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration were recognised against the cost of the acquisition.

Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Goodwill was determined at each step. Any additional acquisition did not affect the previously recognised goodwill.

— I-30 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, (or groups of cashgenerating units), that is expected to benefi t from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated fi rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profi t or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profi t or loss on disposal.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes as follows:

  • Revenue from sale of properties in the ordinary course of business is recognised when the respective properties have been completed and delivered to the buyers. Deposits and instalments received from purchasers prior to meeting the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as sales deposits under current liabilities. Sales of goods other than properties are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

  • Revenue from hotel operations is recognised when the relevant services are provided.

  • Revenue from car park operations is recognised when the relevant facilities are provided.

  • Rental income from properties under operating leases is recognised on an straight-line basis over the periods of the respective tenancies.

  • Building management fee income is recognised when the relevant services are provided.

Interest income from a fi nancial 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 fi nancial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Group’s rights to receive payment have been established.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation including properties under construction for such purpose.

On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profi t or loss for the period in which they arise.

Construction costs incurred for investment properties under construction are capitalised as part of the carrying amount of the investment properties under construction.

— I-31 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefi ts are expected from its disposals. 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 asset) is included in profi t or loss in the year in which the item is derecognised.

Transfer from investment property to property, plant and equipment will be made when there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner occupation. The fair value at the date of transfer becomes the deemed cost for subsequent accounting as property, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment other than buildings and hotel under development are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment other than buildings and hotel under development less their residual values over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Assets held under fi nance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the terms of the leases.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of properties, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profi t or loss.

If an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to an investment property when there is a change of use, evidenced by end of owner-occupation, any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of that item at the date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in asset revaluation reserve. On the subsequent sale or retirement of the asset, the asset revaluation reserve will be transferred directly to retained profi ts.

Properties for/under development

Hotel under development held for owner’s operation are stated at cost less any impairment loss recognised. Cost comprises development expenditure including professional charges directly attributable to the development and interest capitalised during the development period. No depreciation is provided on the cost of the buildings until hotel operation commences.

When the building on the leasehold land is in the course of development and the leasehold land component is accounted for as operating lease, the amortisation charge for the leasehold land is included as part of the costs of the buildings under construction during the construction period. If the leasehold land is accounted for as fi nance lease, the cost of land is included within hotel properties under development.

Properties which are intended for sale after completion of development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes costs of land, development expenditure, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties. Such properties are recorded as properties for sales under current assets as they are expected to be realised in one year, or are intended for sale within the Group’s normal operating cycle. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all anticipated costs of completion and costs to incur in marketing and selling the properties.

Interests in associates

An associate is an entity over which the investor has signifi cant infl uence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Signifi cant infl uence is the power to participate in the fi nancial and operating policy decisions of the Investec but is not control or joint control over those policies.

— I-32 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated fi nancial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, less any identifi ed impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment.

Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

The requirements of HKAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with HKAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a group entity transacts with its associate, profi ts and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.

Joint ventures

Jointly controlled entities

Joint venture arrangements which involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has joint control over the economic activity of the entity are referred to as jointly controlled entities.

The results and assets and liabilities of jointly controlled entities are incorporated in the consolidated fi nancial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in jointly controlled entities are carried in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the profi t or loss and other comprehensive income of the jointly controlled entities, less any identifi ed impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of a jointly controlled entity equals or exceeds its interest in that jointly controlled entity, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that jointly controlled entity.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a jointly controlled entity recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.

Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

The requirements of HKAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in a jointly controlled entity. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with HKAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a group entity transacts with its jointly controlled entity, profi ts and losses resulting from the transactions with the jointly controlled entity are recognised in the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements only to the extent of interests in the jointly controlled entity that are not related to the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with fi nite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses, being their fair value at the date of the revaluation less subsequent accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with fi nite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classifi ed as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to sale, which should be expected to quality for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classifi cation.

Non-current assets except for investment properties classifi ed as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets 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. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

Except for impairment or goodwill and fi nancial assets, details of which are stated in their respective policies, an impairment loss of all other assets is recognised immediately in profi t or loss. Where 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 immediately in profi t or loss.

Inventories

Properties for sale

Properties for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated selling price less selling expenses.

Properties for or under development intended for sale after completion of development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to estimated selling price less anticipated costs to completion of the development and costs to be incurred in marketing and selling the completed properties.

Cost of properties comprises land cost, development costs and other direct costs attributable to the development and borrowing costs capitalised during the development period that have been incurred in bringing the properties to their present condition.

Other inventories

Other inventories comprising food and beverage are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using First-in First-out method.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial instruments

Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities (other than fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss are recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s fi nancial assets are classifi ed into “fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss”, “available-forsale investments” and “loans and receivables”. All regular way purchases or sales of fi nancial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of fi nancial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including amounts due from associates, Investec company, jointly controlled entity and debtors, pledged deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identifi ed impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a fi nancial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the fi nancial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the fi nancial assets at initial recognition. Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss (“ FVTPL”)

Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss has two subcategories, including fi nancial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profi t or loss on initial recognition.

A fi nancial asset is classifi ed as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; or

  • it is a part of an identifi ed portfolio of fi nancial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profi t-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A fi nancial asset other than a fi nancial asset held for trading may be designated as at fair value through profi t or loss upon initial recognition, if it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at fair value through profi t or loss.

At each reporting date subsequent to initial recognition, fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profi t or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the fi nancial assets.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classifi ed as any of the other categories (set out above). At each reporting date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale fi nancial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in investment revaluation reserve, until the fi nancial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss and any further impairment losses on such assets are recognised in profi t or loss. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments will not reverse in subsequent periods. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, they are measured at cost less any identifi ed impairment losses at each reporting date subsequent to initial recognition. An impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar fi nancial asset. Such impairment losses will not reverse in subsequent periods.

Impairment of fi nancial assets

Financial assets, other than those designated at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the fi nancial asset, the estimated future cash fl ows of the fi nancial assets have been impacted.

For an available-for-sale equity investment, a signifi cant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • signifi cant fi nancial diffi culty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or fi nancial re-organisation; or

  • the disappearance of an active market for that fi nancial asset because of fi nancial diffi culties.

For certain categories of fi nancial asset, such as debtors, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For fi nancial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For fi nancial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar fi nancial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the fi nancial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all fi nancial assets with the exception of trade debtors, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profi t or loss. When such receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profi t or loss.

— I-36 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profi t or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments will not be reversed in profi t or loss in subsequent periods. Any increase in fair value subsequent to impairment loss is recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in investment revaluation reserve.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

The Group’s fi nancial liabilities are generally classifi ed into fi nancial liabilities at FVTPL and other fi nancial liabilities.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss

Financial liability carried at fair value through profi t or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value arising on remeasurement recognised directly in profi t or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss incorporates any interest paid on the fi nancial liability.

Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds issued by the Group with conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fi xed amount of cash or a fi xed number of the Company’s own equity instruments are separated into two components, liability and equity elements. Such convertible bonds are classifi ed separately into respective items on initial recognition.

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is determined using the prevailing market interest of similar non-convertible debts. The difference between the gross proceeds of the issue of the convertible bond and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the conversion option for the holder to convert the bond into equity, is included in convertible bond equity reserve under equity.

In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bond is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component, representing the option to convert the liability component into ordinary shares of the Company, will remain in convertible bond equity reserve until the conversion option is exercised in which case the balance stated in convertible bond equity reserve will be transferred to share premium. Where the conversion option remains unexercised at the expiry date, the balance stated in convertible bond equity reserve will be released to the retained profi ts. No gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss upon conversion or at the expiry date of the option.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are charged directly against equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability portion and amortised over the period of the convertible bonds using the effective interest method.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

When an entity extinguishes a convertible instrument before maturity through repurchase in which the original conversion privileges are unchanged, the entity allocates the consideration paid and any transaction costs for the repurchase to the liability and equity components of the instrument at the date of the transaction. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components is consistent with that used in the original allocation to the separate components of the proceeds received by the entity when the convertible instrument was issued.

Once the allocation of the consideration is made, any resulting gain or loss is treated in accordance with accounting principles applicable to the related component, as follows:

(a) the amount of gain or loss relating to the liability component is recognised in profi t or loss; and

  • (b) the amount of consideration relating to the equity component is recognised in equity.

Other fi nancial liabilities

Other fi nancial liabilities (including creditors, amounts due to directors, related companies, associates, minority shareholders and a jointly controlled entity and bank and other borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a fi nancial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the fi nancial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying fi nancial liability at initial recognition. Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Derivative fi nancial instruments

Derivatives (including embedded derivatives separately accounted for from the non-derivative host contracts) are deemed as held-for-trading fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities, unless they qualify and are designated as effective hedging instruments. For derivatives that are deemed as held for trading, changes in fair values of such derivatives are recognised in profi t or loss for the period in which they arise.

Financial guarantee contracts

A fi nancial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specifi ed payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specifi ed debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modifi ed terms of a debt instrument. A fi nancial guarantee contract issued by the Group and not designated as at fair value through profi t or loss is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the fi nancial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the fi nancial guarantee contract at the higher of: (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with HKAS 18 “Revenue”.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the assets expire or, the fi nancial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the fi nancial assets.

On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, 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 in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profi t or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specifi ed in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the fi nancial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profi t or loss.

Leasing

Leases are classifi ed as fi nance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classifi ed as operating leases.

— I-38 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Group as lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefi ts from the leased asset are consumed.

Leasehold land and building

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Group assesses the classifi cation of each element as a fi nance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Group. Specifi cally, the minimum lease payments (including any lumpsum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.

To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as an operating lease is presented as “prepaid lease payments” in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position and is amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis except for those that are classifi ed and accounted for as investment properties under the fair value model. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classifi ed as a fi nance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases, in which case the entire lease is classifi ed as an operating lease.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the fi nancial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (“foreign currencies”) are recorded in its functional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, at the rates of exchange 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 the statement of fi nancial position 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 the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profi t or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profi t or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of nonmonetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated fi nancial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Company, the Hong Kong dollars, at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fl uctuate signifi cantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. Such exchange differences are recognised in profi t or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

From 1 January 2010 onwards, on the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of signifi cant infl uence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassifi ed to profi t or loss. In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profi t or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing signifi cant infl uence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

— I-39 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifi able assets acquired arising on an acquisition of a foreign operation on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign operation and retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in the translation reserve.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specifi c borrowing pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing cost eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profi t or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Payments to defi ned contribution retirement benefi t plans are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Equity-settled share-based payment

Share options granted to employees after 7 November 2002 and vested on or after 1 April 2005

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve).

At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profi t or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to share options reserve.

At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to retained profi ts.

At the time when the Group modifi es the terms and conditions of the share options previously granted, if the modifi cation increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted measured immediately before and after the modifi cation, the entity shall include the incremental fair value granted in the measurement of the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted. The incremental fair value granted is the difference between the fair value of the modifi ed equity instrument and that of the original equity instrument, both estimated as at the date of the modifi cation. If the modifi cation occurs after vesting date, the incremental fair value granted is recognised immediately.

Share options granted to employees on or before 7 November 2002, or granted after 7 November 2002 and vested before 1 April 2005

The fi nancial impact of share options granted is not recorded in the consolidated fi nancial statements until such time as the options are exercised, and no charge is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in respect of the value of options granted. Upon the exercise of the share options, the resulting shares issued are recorded as additional share capital at the nominal value of the shares, and the excess of the exercise price per share over the nominal value of the shares is recorded as share premium. Options which lapse or are cancelled prior to their exercise date are deleted from the register of outstanding options.

Equity instruments issued in exchange for assets

Equity instruments to acquire assets are measured at the fair values of the assets received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the assets received are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

— I-40 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profi t for the year. Taxable profi t differs from profi t as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current tax liabilities are measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the fi nancial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profi t, and is accounted for using the statement of fi nancial position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi ts will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profi t nor the accounting profi t.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be suffi cient taxable profi ts against which to utilise the benefi ts of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of fi nancial position date and reduced tothe extent that it is no longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi t will be available to allow all or part of the asset tobe 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 rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets refl ects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profi t or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment Property”, such properties are presumed to be recovered through sale.

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a signifi cant risk of giving rise to a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year, are discussed below.

Fair value of investment properties

Investment properties are stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by independent professional valuers. In determining the fair value, the valuers have based on a method of valuation which involves certain assumption of market conditions. In relying on the valuation report, the directors of the Company have exercised their judgement and are satisfi ed that the method of

The Group relies on the valuations provided by fi nancial institutions to determine the fair values of the interest rate swaps which is based on discounted cash fl ow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments. Judgment is required for the variables used in arriving at these fair values. Changes in the underlying assumptions could materially impact profi t and loss.

— I-41 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts

The Group makes allowances for bad and doubtful debts when there is objective evidence that debtors balances are impaired. The balances of the debtors are based on the present value of estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the effective rate computed at initial recognition. The directors involved a considerable amount of judgement in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables including the current credit worthiness and the past collection history of each debtors. If the fi nancial credit of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments and therefore affect the estimated future cash fl ow, additional allowance may be required.

Deferred tax

The realisability of the deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether suffi cient future profi ts or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. The directors of the Company determine whether deferred tax assets would be recognised based on profi t projections of the Group and the expected reversal of taxable temporary differences for coming years during which the deferred tax assets are expected to be utilised. The directors of the Company will review the probability of utilising tax losses in future at the end of each fi nancial period. In cases where the actual future profi ts generated are more or less than expected, an additional recognition or a reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognised in profi t or loss for the period in which such a recognition or reversal takes place.

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the relevant cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash fl ows expected to arise from cash-generated unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash fl ows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. As at 31 March, 2011, the carrying amount of goodwill is HK$68,400,000 (2010: HK$68,400,000). Details of the recoverable amount calculation are disclosed in note 19.

Impairment of intangible assets

Determining whether intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use arising from the rights to manage the operation of certain carparks. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash fl ows expected to arise from the right and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. When the actual cash fl ows are less than expected, an impairment loss may arise.

b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

Details of the Group’s fi nancial instruments are disclosed above and in the respective notes. The risks associated with these fi nancial instruments include market risk (foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

The management monitors and manages the fi nancial risk of the Group through internal risk assessment which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to cash fl ow interest rate risk due to the fl uctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank deposits, interest bearing receivable and variable-rate bank and other borrowings. The Group has entered into certain interest rate swaps contracts to mitigate the risk of the fl uctuation of interest rate on its future interest payments on the bank borrowing which carry interest at Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rates (“HIBOR”), HK$ Prime Lending Rate, People’s Bank of China Prescribed Interest Rate (“PBOC”), Singapore Swap Offered Rate (“S$ SOR”), Malaysia Base Lending Rates (“BLR”) and Australia Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate (“BBSW”).

— I-43 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group’s exposures to interest rates on fi nancial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section. The Group’s cash fl ow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fl uctuation of HIBOR, HK$ Prime Lending Rate, PBOC, S$ SOR, BLR and BBSW arising from the Group’s bank borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the fl oating rate borrowings and receivables. The sensitivity analysis considers only borrowings which are the only items having signifi cant impact on the fi nancial statements. The analysis is prepared assuming that the borrowings outstanding at the end of the reporting periods were outstanding for the whole year. 50 basis points represent the best estimation of the possible change in the interest rates over the period until the end of next reporting period.

If interest rates had been increased/decreased by 50 basis points (2010: 50 basis points) and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profi t after taxation would decrease/increase by HK$15,301,000 (2010: HK$12,964,000) and the interest capitalised would increase/decrease by HK$7,039,000 (2010: HK$9,283,000).

In the management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the interest rate risk as the year end exposure does not refl ect the exposure during the year.

Foreign currency risk

Several subsidiaries of the Company have transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which exposure the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group manages the foreign currency risk by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rate.

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities, at the reporting date are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% (2010: 10%) strengthening in the HK$against the relevant foreign currencies, while all other variables are held constant. Since Hong Kong dollars are pegged to USD under the Linked Exchange Rate System, the management does not expect any signifi cant exposure in relation to the exchange rate fl uctuation between HK$ and USD. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risks is mainly on currencies other than USD. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents the management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and adjusts their translation at the year end if HK$ strengthens 10% against the relevant foreign currency.

For a 10% weakening of HK$ adjust the relevant foreign currencies, these would be an equal and opposite impact on profi t.

In the management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis in unrepresentative of the foreign currency risk as the year end exposure does not refl ect the exposure during the year.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk and market price risk arising from investment in equity securities and other fi nancial products classifi ed under available-for-sale investments, investment held for trading and derivative fi nancial instruments.

Price risk sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risk at the end of the reporting period.

If the price of the respective equity securities has been 10% (2010: 10%) higher/lower:

  • profi t after tax would increase/decrease by HK$5,821,000 (2010: increase/decrease HK$1,017,000) as a result of the changes in fair value of held for trading investments.

  • investment revaluation reserve would increase by HK$16,631,000 (2010: HK$26,696,000) as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.

Credit risk

At the end of each reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a fi nancial loss to the Group in the event of the counterparties failure to discharge their obligations in relation to each class of recognised fi nancial asset are the carrying amount of the respective recognised fi nancial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of fi nancial positions and the contingent liabilities in relation to the fi nancial guarantee issued by the Group as disclosed in note 41(a). In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.

The Group has no signifi cant concentration of credit risk, except for the amount due from an investee company, associates and other receivables, which in aggregate, constitute over 10% of the total fi nancial assets, with exposure spread over

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

a number of counter parties and customers. The Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is signifi cantly reduced.

The credit risk for bank deposits and pledged deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks or fi nancial institutions with high credit ratings.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s liquidity position and its compliance with lending covenants is monitored closely by the management of the Company, to ensure that it maintains suffi cient reserve of cash and adequate committed line of funding from major fi nancial institutions to meet its liquidity requirement in the short and longer term. The Group fi nances its working capital requirements through a combination of funds generated from operations and external borrowings.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its fi nancial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash fl ows of fi nancial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. Specifi cally, bank loans with a repayment on demand clauseare included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights.

The maturity dates for other non-derivative fi nancial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates. The table includes both interest and principal cash fl ows.

Note: The amounts presented are the maximum liabilities the Group could be required to settle. However, the amount is subject to change depending on the probability of claims against the Group due to defaults of the counterparties. Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the Group considers that it is more likely than not that no amount will be payable.

APPENDIX I

Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause of the carrying amount of HK$87,381,000 are includedin the “on demand or 0–180 days” time band in the above maturity analysis. Taking into account the Group’s fi nancial position, the directors believe that it is not probable that the banks will exercise their discretionary rights to demand immediate repayment and such term loans will be repaid in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreement. On this basis, the interest and principal cashfl ows for these bank loans in the above analysis for the outstanding amount at 31 March 2011 would be as follows:

  • the fair value of other fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss is determined using generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash fl ow using prices or rates from current market transactions.

  • the fair value of the fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss is determined based on discounted cash fl ow model and black-scholes model using prices or rates of similar instruments with key inputs such as weighted average share price, expected validity, risk free rate and expected dividend yield.

  • the fair value of derivative fi nancial instruments are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on data obtained from current market transactions or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

  • the fair value of other fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash fl ow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated fi nancial statements approximate their fair values.

The following table provides an analysis of fi nancial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that included inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value of the completed investment properties in Hong Kong, the PRC, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia at 31 March 2011 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out on that date by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited, Raine & Horne International Zaki + Partners Sdn. Bhd., Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants Pte Ltd. and CB Richard Ellis (V) Pty Ltd, independent qualifi ed professional valuers not connected with the Group, respectively. DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited, are members of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and Raine & Horne International Zaki + Partners Sdn. Bhd., Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants Pte Ltd. and CB Richard Ellis (V) Pty Ltd are member of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The valuation was arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties at similar locations.

In the prior periods, the fair value of investment properties under development could not be reliably determined, and accordingly, such properties were measured at cost less impairment. During the year, approval was granted by the lands tribunal for

— I-61 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

the compulsory sale by the existing owners of the remaining units of the properties not yet owned by the Group. As a result, the fair value of the properties as at 31 March 2011 can be reliably determined to be HK$262,284,000. The Group recognised the increase in fair value of HK$75,589,000 of such properties in the current year.

The valuation of the investment properties under development has been arrived at by using direct comparison approach with reference to comparable properties as available in the market with adjustments made to account for the differences and with due allowance for development costs. The valuation has also taken into account construction cost, fi nance cost and professional fees that will be expended to complete the development as well as a developer’s profi t to refl ect the risks associated with the development of the property.

During the year, the Group changed the use of certain fl oors of a hotel/commercial complex, which were accordingly transferred from hotel properties (classifi ed as property, plant and equipment and prepaid lease payments) to investment properties at their fair value of HK$8,155,000 (2010: HK$31,727,000) on the date of transfer.

Investment properties with carrying amount of HK$2,080,862,000 (2010: HK$1,719,894,000) are under legal charge to secure bank borrowings of the relevant group entities.

The carrying amounts of properties under development at the end of the reporting period includes capitalised interest expense of HK$4,748,000 (2010: HK$3,464,000).

During the year ended 31 March 2011, the Group had fi nalised the development plan in respect of certain leasehold land for hotel development and for residential development, at which time the portion of land cost attributable to the latter amounting to HK$180,608,000 is reliably determinable and allocated to properties for sale.

Pursuant to the change of use of certain fl oors of a building as disclosed in note 16, the fair value of the leasehold land attributable to these fl oors was transferred to investment properties at their fair value of HK$6,235,000 (2010: HK$19,413,000). Revaluation gain attributable to these fl oors amounting to HK$3,176,000 (2010: HK$5,421,000) net of deferred tax of HK$794,000 (2010: HK$1,355,000) is recognised in property revaluation reserve upon the transfer to investment properties.

Leasehold land with carrying value of HK$592,361,000 (2010: HK$749,760,000) are under charge to secure bank borrowings of the relevant group entities.

19. GOODWILL

Goodwill arose from the acquisition of 73.75% equity interest in certain subsidiaries engaged in car park operation during the year ended 31 March 2010.

The management determines that there is no impairment on the carrying amount of the goodwill based on the estimated recoverable amount of cash generated from the car park operation. The calculation uses cash fl ow projections based on fi nancial budgets approved by the management covering a 5-years period, and at a discount rate of 10%. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeding its recoverable amount.

Intangible assets relate to the rights to manage the operation of certain carparks. Based on the valuation performed by independent chartered accountants, Nexia ASR Pty Ltd, and completed during the year on the carpark operation business, the fair value of the rights to manage the carparks at the date of the acquisition is identifi ed to be HK$9,000,000, which is determined on the income-based method. Adjustment is made in the consolidated fi nancial statements to refl ect the value of such management rights. The comparative fi gures for the prior period have been restated accordingly.

The management determines that there is no impairment on the carrying amount of the intangible assets based on the estimated recoverable amount of cash generated from the car park operation. The calculation uses cash fl ow projections based on fi nancial budgets approved by the management covering a 5-years period, and at a discount rate of 10%. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeding its recoverable amount.

The intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 ½ years.

Thereafter, the Group is entitled to 25% of the profi ts whereas the PRC joint venture partner is entitled to the remaining 75% until the joint venture partner has recouped in full its investment cost, which is the agreed fair value of the land contributed to the entity. Thereafter, both parties’ entitlement to the share of profi t is in proportion to their respective contribution. On expiry of the joint venture period, the joint venture will be dissolved and all remaining undistributed assets will be surrendered to the PRC party. Accordingly, the Group’s cost of investment in the jointly controlled entity is amortised over the joint venture period.

Available-for-sale investments are stated at fair value except that the unlisted equity securities are measured at cost less impairment as the directors are of the opinion that their fair values cannot be measured reliably.

In the current year, the Group disposed of certain unlisted securities with carrying amount of HK$38,950,000 which had been carried at cost less impairment before the disposal. A gain on disposal of HK$10,350,000 has been recognised in profi t or loss for the current year.

The fair value of the listed equity securities are determined based on the quoted market bid prices available on the relevant stock exchanges. The fair value of the debt securities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash fl ow using market interest rates. The fair value of the investment funds is determined based on the quoted bid priceavailable from the counterparties of which is determined based on market price of the underlying listed securities.

APPENDIX I

Promissory notes with aggregate principal amount of US$17,500,000 (equivalent to HK$135,975,000) represent the balance payment of the consideration from disposal of certain properties outside Hong Kong. The notes carry interest at 2% per annum in the fi rst year and 4% per annum thereafter and are due on maturity in February 2014. The notes are secured by fi rst priority mortgage liens over the properties disposed of and a pledge of the purchasers’ equity interest in the acquired entity.

Second mortgage loans and interest receivable are secured by certain properties of the borrowers. They bear interest at prime rate with the effective interest rate for the year of 5.00% (2010: 5.00%), and are repayable by instalments in accordance with their respective repayment terms.

The aging of the second mortgage loans and interest receivable that are past due but not impaired are as follows:

No further allowance for doubtful debts is recognised during both years. Reversal of doubtful debt amounting to HK$1,713,000 (2010: Nil) is made during the year on recovery of the debts.

In determining the recoverability of a loan receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the borrowers and the value of the underlying properties under mortgage. The directors believe that there is no further provision required.

27. BANK DEPOSITS, BANK BALANCES AND CASH

Pledged deposits included in non-current assets carry fi xed interest rates ranging from 0.001% to 6.0% (2010: 0.001% to 0.01%) per annum with maturity date ranging from 1 to 6 months. These deposits are pledged to secure bank loans repayable after one year.

Pledged deposits included in current assets include time deposits of HK$2,728,000 (2010: HK$17,368,000) which carry fi xed interest rates ranging from 0.001% to 0.5% (2010: 0.001% to 0.68%) per annum and the remaining balances at an average market interest rate of 2.72% (2010: 0.06%) with maturity dates ranging from 1 to 6 months. These deposits are pledged to secure bank borrowings repayable within one year.

Restricted bank deposits can be solely applied for settlement of development cost of designated property projects.

Bank balances comprise of short-term time deposits of HK$497,386,000 (2010: HK$292,010,420) with maturity dates of three months or less. These deposits carry interest at fi xed rate ranging from 0.001% to 4.47% (2010: 0.001% to 3.25%) per annum and the remaining balances carry market interest rate of 0.01% (2010: 0.01%).

28. PROPERTIES FOR SALE

Trade debtors aged over 60 days are past due but are not impaired.

Trade debtors mainly comprise of receivable from sale and renting of properties. Sale of properties are settled according to the payment terms of individual contract but have to be fully settled before transfer of the legal titles. No credit are allowed to the tenants of the properties. Rentals are payable on presentation of demand notes. Hotel room revenue is normally settled by cash or credit card. Credit period of 30 to 60 days are allowed to travel agents and corporate customers.

The Group has provided in full all receivable that have been past due and are generally not recoverable.

In determining the recoverability of trade and other debtors, the Group considers the subsequent settlement and any change in the credit quality of the debtors from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of each of the reporting period. There is no concentration of credit risk due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance already made. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Allowance for doubtful debts was provided on the trade debtors and the movements are as follows:

The 2015 Bond carries interest at 3.625 percent and is convertible, at the option of the holders, into ordinary shares of HK$0.10 each of the Company at an adjusted conversion price of HK$3.41 per share, subject to further adjustments during the period up to 28 February 2015. The bondholders may require the Company to redeem all or part of the 2015 Bond on 5 March 2012 at 100% of their principal amount together with accrued interest. The outstanding 2015 Bond is redeemable by the Company after 5 March 2012 and prior to maturity at the principal amount together with accrued interest under certain specifi ed conditions. Any remaining outstanding bonds will be redeemed at nominal value on maturity.

The 2015 Bond contains three components, liability element, equity element and early redemption option. As the early redemption option is closely related to the host contract, it is not separately accounted for from the host contract. The fair value of liability component was initially estimated at HK$760,590,000 based on the valuation carried out by Vigers Appraisal and Consulting Ltd on the assumption that the bondholders could request for redemption on 5 March 2012. The residual balance of HK$39,410,000 is recognised in equity and presented as convertible bond equity reserve. The effective interest rate of the liability element is 6.29% per annum.

During the year ended 31 March 2011, the Company repurchased a principal amount of HK$60,000,000 of the 2015 Bond with carrying amount of HK$61,129,000 at a consideration of HK$59,173,000. The repurchased bonds was subsequently cancelled. The gain on the repurchase of HK$1,956,000 is recognised in retained profi ts.

  • (b) The carrying amount of a zero coupon convertible bond outstanding at 1 April 2009 with principal amount of HK$331,445,000 due in 2013 (the “2013 Bond”) was convertible, at the option of the holder, into ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$4.30 per share or redeemable by the Company at nominal value on maturity. The 2013 Bond was fully converted into the Company’s ordinary shares during the year ended 31 March 2010.

A deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of such losses to the extent of HK$177,173,000 (2010: HK$120,618,000; 2009: HK$104,630,000). No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of the remaining tax losses of HK$882,595,000 (2010: HK$982,507,000; 2009: HK$970,891,000) due to the unpredictability of future profi t streams.

At 31 March 2011, the Group has deductible temporary difference of HK$281,678,000 (2010: HK$263,679,000). No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to such deductible temporary difference as it is not probable that taxable profi t will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised.

Under the EIT Law of the PRC, withholding tax is imposed on dividends declared in respect of profi ts earned by PRC subsidiaries from 1 January 2008 onwards. Deferred tax has not been provided for on the temporary differences attributable to profi ts of the PRC subsidiaries of HK$418,274,000 (2010: HK$369,187,000) generated after 1 January 2008 and its distribution as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

38. ACQUISITION/DISPOSAL OF BUSINESS/ASSETS

(a) Deemed disposal of interests in subsidiaries

During the year, certain subsidiaries underwent corporate re-organisation to rationalise the hotel development and operation business in preparation for listing of the shares of Kosmopolito. The corporate reorganisation involved transfers of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company to Kosmopolito and capitalisation of an amount of HK$1,859,812,000 due by Kosmopolito and its subsidiaries to the Group by the subscription of 1,730,000,000 ordinary shares of Kosmopolito at a price of HK$1.075. The Company’s interests in 270,000,000 of these shares, together with new issues of 270,000,000 ordinary shares by Kosmopolito were offered for sale to the public. The offer for sale was completed on 11 October 2010 and the Company’s interest in Kosmopolito has been reduced from 100% to 73%.

As the Company has not lost control over Kosmopolito, the gain resulting from the spin off of Kosmopolito of HK$417,926,000, being the difference between the net proceeds received in the offer of HK$1,140,986,000 (net of issue expense of HK$47,014,000) and the non-controlling interest in Kosmopolito recognised of HK$723,060,000, has been recognised directly in equity.

(b) Disposal of subsidiaries

On 31 March 2011, Kosmopolito disposed of its entire interest in Excel Chinese International Limited (“Excel Chinese”) at a consideration of HK$290,000,000. Excel Chinese is the owner of The Mercer by Kosmopolito, which has commenced operation subsequent to the end of the reporting period in April 2011.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Care Park during the prior year was determined at the date of acquisition on a provisional basis as fair value of the identifi ed assets acquired had not been determined reliably. During the year, the fair value of intangible assets of HK$9,000,000 was fi nalised based on independent valuation. As a result of recognition of the intangible assets, there were a corresponding reduction in goodwill of HK$4,647,000 from HK$73,047,000 to HK$68,400,000, an increase in deferred tax liabilities of HK$2,700,000 from HK$4,410,000 to HK$7,110,000 and an increase in non-controlling interest of HK$1,363,000 from HK$51,291,000 to HK$52,944,000. The profi t attributable to the owners for the year ended 31 March 2010 was also decreased by HK$1,229,000 as a result of the additional amortisation of intangible assets of HK$1,756,000 and the related deferred tax impact of HK$527,000.

From the date of acquisition to 31 March 2010, Care Park has contributed HK$15,476,000 to the profi t for the Group. If the acquisition had taken place on 1 April 2009, the profi t for the Group for the year would have been HK$345,414,000 and total group revenue would have been HK$2,423,061,000. The pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved has the acquisition been completed on 1 April 2009, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

During the year, the Group entered into fi nance lease arrangements for acquisition of asset with a total capital value at the inception of the leases of HK$145,000 (2010: HK$738,000).

The Company issued shares in lieu of cash dividend payable to the Company’s shareholders totalling HK$34,005,000 (2010: HK$46,623,000).

40. CHARGE ON ASSETS

Bank loans with aggregate carrying amount of HK$5,293,366,000 (2010: HK$5,113,981,000) outstanding at the end of the reporting period are secured by a fi xed charge over the Group’s properties (presented under the line items of properties for sale, investment properties, property, plant and equipment, prepaid lease payments and non-current assets held for sale) with an aggregate carrying amount of HK$8,970,185,000 (2010: HK$7,674,835,000) and a pledge of deposits of HK$274,798,000 (2010: HK$29,765,000) together with a fl oating charge over other assets of the property owners and benefi ts accrued to those properties.

Other loan facilities are secured by a pledge of the Group’s investments in securities classifi ed as held for trading investment and available-for-sale investments, and deposits with the relevant counterparty with an aggregate carrying amount of HK$81,651,000 (2010: HK$8,764,000).

41. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

  • (a) The Group has given guarantees for mortgage loans provided to the home buyers of the Group’s properties in the PRC. At 31 March 2011, the total amount of mortgage loans outstanding which are under the guarantee was HK$123,426,000 (2010: HK$127,006,000). The director considered that the fair values of these fi nancial guarantee contracts at their initial recognition are insignifi cant on the basis of short maturity periods and low default rate of mortgage loans.

  • (b) During the year ended 31 March 2010, a subsidiary of the Company initiated a lawsuit against the contractor for the unsatisfactory performance in relation to the construction of a hotel for an amount of HK$14,356,000 and in response to the claim, the contractor has fi led counterclaims against the subsidiary for an amount of HK$25,841,000. The lawyer of the subsidiary of the Company considers that there is a fair chance of winning the lawsuit and accordingly, no provision for potential liability has been made in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

Total share option expense in relation to the options granted by the Company recognised during the year amounted to HK$6,803,000 (2010: HK$2,353,000).

During the year, the Company extended the exercisable period of options granted on 21 October 2004 and 25 August 2006 to 20 October 2014 (2004 Scheme) and 24 August 2016 (2006 Scheme). As the modifi cation occurred after the vesting period, the incremental fair value of the options determined on the date of modifi cation using the Binomial model of HK$5,776,000 (included above) was recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the management’s best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of a number of subjective assumptions. Any change in the variables so adopted may materially affect the estimation of the fair value of an option.

The major inputs into the models at the date of modifi cation were as follows:

Options issued on Options issued on

Expected volatility 47.0% 47.0%
Expected life 4 years 6 years
Risk-free rate 1.538% p.a. 1.941% p.a.
Dividend yield 4.428% 3.830%

The risk-free rate has made reference to the yield of HK Exchange Fund Notes (“EFN”) as at the date of modifi cation. The volatility of the Company’s stock was determined by reference to the historical stock price and assumed to be constant throughout the option life.

No share options were exercised during the two years ended 31 March 2011.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group launched a number of property development projects for presale in the last fi nancial year. As at 31 March 2012, the Group recorded cumulative presales of properties under development of approximately 743,000 sq. ft in gross fl oor area (“ GFA ”) with a value of approximately HK$4.3 billion from Star Ruby, Hong Kong and Upper West Side, Australia. Together with cumulative presale recorded at KHI with a value of HK$500 million, the Group’s total cumulative presale as at 31 March 2012 was at HK$4.8 billion. Following the fi nancial year end, the Group launched 288 apartments for presale in its California Garden project in Shanghai. Other new residential development projects/phases for launch in the coming 24 months include projects in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Total GFA of the properties available for sale and presale amounted to approximately 3.5 million sq. ft. With current presale and anticipated new projects in the pipeline, the Group expects fi nancial performance from property development business to be strong in the coming years.

The Group will continue to focus on developing future projects in the regions where the Group has an existing presence. The diversifi ed location of the Group’s presence allows the Group to take advantage of property cycle in different markets and the effect of cyclical risks can therefore be reduced. The Group’s current development pipeline together with our land bank amounted to approximately 10 million sq. ft in GFA as at 31 March 2012, suffi cient for property development in the coming 6 to 7 years. The Group will continue to search for attractive development opportunities to replenish our pipeline going forward.

The Group’s hotel business is under our listed subsidiary, KHI. KHI is a hotel developer, owner and operator with business spreading over Hong Kong, the PRC, Malaysia, Singapore and United Kingdom. During the fi nancial year 2012, KHI continued to achieve a strong growth in both room rates and occupancy rates with average daily revenue per available room at HK$663, an increase of 23.9%, compared with last year. Currently, KHI owns/manages 16 hotels of approximately 4,000 rooms. This is expected to increase to more than 7,000 rooms over the next few years.

The recent transaction involving a disposal of Dorsett Regency Hotel, Kennedy Town in Hong Kong has again proven the Group’s capability in creating value for shareholders. The Group will continue its strategy to recycle the capital selling smaller hotels and investing in bigger ones with greater number of rooms. With this recently announced disposal, together with the Group’s hotel development pipeline and expected contribution from sale of serviced apartments in Singapore (namely Dorsett Regency Residence) and Malaysia (namely Dorsett Place Waterfront, Subang), it is anticipated that KHI will continue its high growth in the coming few years.

The Group’s car park has continued to grow with revenue reaching HK$537 million for the year ended 31 March 2012, an increase of 15.7% versus last year. Steady growth in the business has strengthened recurring cashfl ow stream. As at 31 March 2012, the Group managed more than 250 car parks, consisting a car park management portfolio of approximately 49,000 car park bays. In this portfolio, self owned car parks totaled 20 car parks with approximately 5,600 car park bays. These car parks are located in Australia and Malaysia. During the fi nancial year 2012, approximately 3,000 car parks bays under management were added to the portfolio. With steady increase in the number of car park bays under management, the car park business is expected to continue to contribute to the Group with stable income and cash fl ow.

Investment properties mainly comprise retail and offi ce building located in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Singapore and Malaysia. These investment properties provide the Group with rental income. On 30 March 2012, the Group announced the sale of an investment property (namely, 51 strata units in Parkway Centre) in Singapore. The sale will provide additional capital for the Group for future expansion. The property investment business will continue to provide the Group with solid cashfl ow stream.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

With total assets of approximately HK$24.1 billion including the valuation surplus on hotel assets amounting to HK$7,750 million which is not recorded in the consolidated fi nancial statements, the gearing ratio of net of cash was 28.8% as at 31 March 2012. The Group believes that it has strong fi nancing capacity for its future developments and to capture new business opportunity that may arise.

Going forward, the Group will continue its strategy of expanding its hotel portfolio and development pipeline. Whilst global market conditions remain challenging with the slowdown in growth rate in Mainland China and the European economic crisis, the Group believes that the long term prospects of the property sector remain good in Asia. The Group is confi dent that it is well positioned to continue its growth in the coming years.

5. MATERIAL CHANGE

On 25 May 2012, KHI, Havena Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KHI and a nonwholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ Seller ”), and a purchaser (the “ Purchaser ”), being an independent third party to the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “ Sale and Purchase Agreement ”), whereby the Seller has agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase, the entire issued share capital of Hong Kong (SAR) Hotel Limited (“ HKSAR Hotel ”) and related shareholder’s loan at the aggregate consideration of HK$800,000,000 (the “ Disposal ”) and KHI has agreed to guarantee the due performance by the Seller of its obligations and responsibilities under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The principal activity of HKSAR Hotel is the operation and management of the Dorsett Regency Hotel, Hong Kong and the related facilities and HKSAR Hotel is registered and benefi cial owner of the aforesaid hotel. It is expected that the Group will record a gain from the Disposal of approximately HK$329 million, such gain having been arrived at by reference to the terms of the Disposal and the carrying book value of HKSAR Hotel in the accounts of the Company. Further details of the Disposal are set out in the announcement jointly issued by the Company and KHI dated 25 May 2012.

Save for the above and the Share Repurchase, the Directors confi rm that there has been no material change (whether adverse or not) in the fi nancial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2012, being the date to which the latest audited consolidated fi nancial statement of the Group were made up.

16th Floor Jardine House 1 Connaught Place Central Hong Kong 27 June 2012

The Directors Far East Consortium International Limited 16/F, Far East Consortium Building 121 Des Voeux Road Central Central Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re: Portfolio Valuation

Instructions, Purpose & Date of Valuation

We refer to your instructions for us to carry out market valuations of certain properties in which Far East Consortium International Limited (the “Company”) and/or its subsidiaries and associated companies (together referred to as the “Group”) have interests in Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Australia and the United Kingdom (the “UK”). We confi rm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the values of these properties as at 31 March 2012 (the “Date of Valuation”).

Basis of Valuation and Assumption

Our valuation of each property represents its market value which in accordance with the Valuation Standards on Properties of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defi ned as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the Date of Valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

Our valuation of each property excludes an estimated price infl ated or defl ated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical fi nancing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

Unless otherwise stated, our valuations are carried out and stated on 100% interest basis.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values. In respect of the PRC properties, we have relied on the legal opinion given to us by the Group’s legal advisers.

— III-A-1 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIA

In valuing the properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, The Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases of Securities and Future Commission and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

In respect of the properties situated in the PRC, the status of titles and grant of major certifi cates, approvals and licences, in accordance with the information provided by the Group and the advice provided by the Group’s legal advisers, Guangdong Zhengda United Law Firm, Shanghai Haokun Law Firm, Hubei Angel Law Firm and Grandall Law Firm (Chengdu), are set out in the notes in the respective valuation

Valuation Methodology

Unless otherwise stated, we have generally valued the properties either by direct comparison method by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market or where appropriate by capitalising the rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due allowance for the reversionary income potential of the properties.

Each of property nos. 8 to 15 in Hong Kong and the hotel portion of each of property nos. 35 and 36 in the PRC has been valued as fully operational hotels and by reference to comparable evidence as available in the market. Moreover, we have valued such properties with the benefi t of all relevant statutory and/or mandatory permissions, permits, approvals and licences which are necessary for hotel operation.

In respect of the properties in Group V, Group XI and Group XVII which are held by the Group under development in Hong Kong, the PRC, Australia respectively and the property in Group XVIII which is held by the Group for development in the UK, we have valued on the basis that each of these properties will be developed and completed in accordance with the Group’s latest development proposals provided to us. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposals have been obtained without onerous conditions or delays. We have also assumed that the design and construction of the developments are in compliance with the local planning regulations and have been approved by the relevant authorities. In arriving at our valuations, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and have also taken into account the expended construction costs and the costs that will be expended to complete the developments to refl ect the quality of the completed developments. The “Capital value when completed at the Date of Valuation” represents our opinion of the aggregate selling prices of the developments assuming that they were completed at the Date of Valuation.

In valuing the properties in Group XIII which is contracted to be acquired by the Group in the PRC, we have been advised by the Group that the State-owned Land Use Rights Certifi cates of the properties have not been obtained yet and we therefore ascribe no commercial value to the properties.

According to the information provided by the Group, the potential tax liability of properties located in Hong Kong which would arise on disposal of the properties is profi ts tax of 16.5% of net profi t upon disposal, save for deduction of any profi t which is capital in nature. The potential tax liability in respect of properties held for owner-occupation, investment or held and operated by the Group under Group I, Group II and property nos. 8 to 14 of Group III, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group has no plan for the disposal of such properties yet. For property no. 15 and properties held for sale under Group IV, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is high upon disposal. As advised by the Group, the estimated amount of potential tax liability in respect of property nos. 15, 16, 17 and 18, which have been sold or being put up for sale in the market as at the Latest Practicable Date, are approximately nil, HK$21.5 million, HK$5.6 million and HK$1.0 million respectively. For properties held for development and future development under Group V and Group VI, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group will hold the properties for investment after development has been completed or has no plan for the disposal of such properties yet at the current stage.

— III-A-2 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIA

For the properties located in the PRC under Group VII to Group XIII, we have been advised by the Group that the potential tax liabilities include Land Appreciation Tax (土地增值稅) at progressive tax rates from 30% to 60%, Business Tax (營業稅) at 5% of sales amount, related surcharge (附加稅) at 11% of Business Tax (營業稅), and Income Tax (所得稅) at 25% on profi t before tax. The exact amount of tax payable upon realization of the relevant properties in the PRC will be subject to the formal tax advice issued by the relevant tax authorities at the time of disposal of relevant properties upon presentation of the relevant transaction documents. The likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group has no plan for the disposal of such properties yet. For property held for sale under Group X, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is high, as advised by the Group, the property will be sold after development has been completed. As advised by the Group, the estimated amount of potential tax liability in respect of property no. 37 under Group X, which has been sold or being put up for sale in the market as at the Latest Practicable Date, is approximately HK$17.7 million. For properties held for investment, owner-occupation, held and operated by the Group, under development, for future development and contracted to be acquired under Group VII to Group IX and Group XI to Group XIII respectively, the likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group has no plan for the disposal of such properties yet.

If the Australian properties are disposed of at valuation, a goods and services tax on gross realization will be assessed at 1/11 and the income tax may be payable at the current corporate tax rate of 30% on the taxable income of the property owner. As advised by the Group, it is likely that the relevant tax liabilities will be crystallized for property no. 46 in Group XIV as it is planned to be sold. As advised by the Group, the estimated amount of potential tax liability in respect of property no. 46 under Group XIV, which has been sold or being put up for sale in the market as at the Latest Practicable Date, is approximately HK$0.9 million. However, the likelihood of the relevant tax liabilities being crystallized for property nos. 47, 48 and 49 in Groups XV, XVI and XVII respectively is remote as the Group has no plan to dispose of such properties yet at the current stage.

According to the information provided by the Group, the potential tax liabilities which would arise on the disposal of the development rights and interests in property no. 50 in Group XVIII in the UK mainly comprise Corporation Tax, Value Added Tax and Capital Gains Tax charged at the rate appropriate to the circumstances as at the time of the transaction. The likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group will hold the properties for investment after development.

Source of Information

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us by the Group, where applicable, on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identifi cation of land and buildings, completion dates of buildings, lettings, particulars of occupancy, identifi cation of properties, development schemes, fl oor plans and areas, site plans and areas, number of parking spaces and guest rooms, construction schedules and costs, relationship of the property owners with the Group, interests attributable to the Group and all other relevant matters.

Land Tenure

In valuing the properties in Hong Kong the Government Leases of which expired before 30 June 1997, we have taken into account the provisions contained in Annex III of the Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the question of Hong Kong as well as in the New Territories Leases (Extension) Ordinance under which such leases have been extended without premium until 30 June 2047 and that rents of 3% of the rateable value are charged per annum from the date of extension.

In valuing the properties in the PRC, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the properties for respective specifi c terms at nominal land use fees have been granted and that all requisite land premiums payable have been fully settled. We have also assumed that the owners of the properties have enforceable titles to the properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms as granted.

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIA

Title Investigation

We have not been provided with copies of the title documents relating to the properties but have caused searches to be made at the Land Registry in Hong Kong and the UK, and Landata in Australia. In respect of the properties in the PRC, we have been provided by the Group with copies of extracts of documents. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any lease amendments. All documents and leases have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate. No on-site measurement has been taken.

In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group and its legal advisers, Guangdong Zhengda United Law Firm, Shanghai Haokun Law Firm, Hebei Angel Law Firm and Grandall Law Firm (Chengdu) in respect of the title to the properties in the PRC.

Property Inspection

Our DTZ Hong Kong Offi ce valuer Amy Ho, Edmond Pang and Angelina Kwok, Guangzhou Offi ce valuer Mina Ou, Shanghai Offi ce George Deng and Shirlin Qi, Chengdu Offi ce valuer David Guo, Wuhan Offi ce valuer Lucy Xu, Australia Offi ce valuer Ashley Shepherd and London Offi ce Richard Dawes inspected the exterior and, wherever possible, the interior of the properties between March 2012 and June 2012. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services. For those properties which are under or held for future development, we have not carried out any soil investigations to determine the suitability of soil conditions and services for any future development. Moreover, we have not undertaken any environmental survey for the properties. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during construction.

Currency and Exchange Rate

Unless otherwise stated, the market values of the properties in Group I to Group VI are stated in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The market values of the properties in Group VII to Group XIII are stated in Renminbi (“RMB”). The market values of the properties in Group XIV to Group XVII are stated in Australian dollars (“AUD”). The market value of the property in Group XVIII is stated in Great British Pound (“GBP”).

We enclose herewith a summary of valuations and our valuation certifi cates.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited K. B. Wong CREA, MHKIS, MRICS, RPS (GP) Senior Director

Note: Mr. K.B. Wong is a Registered Professional Surveyor (General Practice) who has over 25 years’ experience in valuation of properties in Hong Kong and the PRC and extensive experience in the valuation of properties in Australia and the UK.

1. INSTRUCTION

In pursuance to the instruction for us to carry out market valuations of the above captioned properties held by Far East Consortium International Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) situated in Malaysia, we confi rm that we have inspected the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing the Market Value of the properties as at 31st March 2012 (referred to as the “valuation date”).

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

Our basis of valuation is our opinion of the Market Value which in accordance with the Valuation Standards on Properties of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defi ned as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

— III-B-2 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIB

3. METHOD OF VALUATION

In arriving at the Market Value of the subject properties, we have adopted as our main approach, the Comparison Method of Valuation .

This method of valuation seeks to determine the value of the properties being valued by comparing and adopting as a yardstick recent transactions and sale evidences involving other similar properties in the vicinity. Due considerations are given for such factors including location, plot size, improvements made if any, surrounding developments, facilities and amenities available.

4. ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation also has been made on the assumption that the properties can be sold on the open market without the benefi t of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the properties.

We have assumed that all consent, approvals and licenses from relevant government for rights to use and occupy the properties have been granted and in good validation status.

We have also assumed that the subject properties can be freely transferred and leased without any additional land premium or substantial costs payable to the relevant government.

In valuing the properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

5. TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with extracts of title documents relating to the properties. In addition, we have caused searches to be made at the appropriate government registries of properties. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership nor to verify the existence of any lease amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only and no responsibility regarding title to the properties is assumed in this report.

6. LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have carried out inspection of the properties; however, we have not carried out site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground condition or the services provided. All dimensions, measurements and arrears are based on information supplied by the Company and where possible, they will be verifi ed by us by reference to the copies of documents made available to us.

While due care is taken to note building defects in the course of inspection no structural survey is made nor any inspection of woodwork or other parts of the structure which are covered or inaccessible and we are therefore unable to report that such part of the properties are free of hidden defects or concealed infestation.

— III-B-3 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIB

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on matters such as statutory notices, tenure, occupancy, site and fl oor areas and in identifi cation of the properties.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information as provided to us by the Company. We have relied on the Company’s confi rmation that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any properties interest nor expense or taxation which may incurred in effecting a sale. We have assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoing of an onerous nature which could affect their value.

7. CURRENCY

The Market Values of all the subject properties are stated in Ringgit Malaysia. The exchange rate adopted in our valuation is RM1= HK$2.5271 , which was the approximate prevailing exchange rates as at the date of valuation.

8. TAXATION

According to the information provided by the Group, the potential tax liability of properties located in Malaysia which would arise on disposal of properties G and J is income tax at 25% and properties I, K, L and M is real property gain tax at 5%. The rest of the properties are not subject to any tax at their disposal. The likelihood of the relevant tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Group has no plan for the disposal of the subject properties.

In accordance with your recent instruction to value the Market Value of the above-mentioned properties (the “Properties”) as at March 31, 2012 (the “date of valuation”) based on existing leases and occupancy arrangements. We confi rm that we have inspected the properties and conducted relevant enquiries and investigations as we considered necessary for the purposes of providing you with our opinion of the Market Value of the Properties.

Our valuation is prepared in accordance with our ‘General Principles Adopted in the Preparation of Valuations and Reports’, a copy of which is attached.

Our valuations are prepared in accordance with the “HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005)” and meet the requirements contained in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Exchange Listing Rules”) issued by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by the Securities and Futures Commission.

Our valuation of the property is our opinion of the market value which we would defi ne as intended to mean “the best price at which the sale of an interest in a property might reasonably be expected to have been completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:

  • (a) a willing seller;

  • (b) that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market for the property marketing of the interest, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale;

  • (c) that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances were, on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of valuation; and

  • (d) that no account is taken of any additional bid by a purchaser with a special interest.

  • (e) that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”

APPENDIX IIIC

Our valuation is based on direct comparison with recent transactions of comparable properties within the vicinity and elsewhere and adjustments have been made for differences between the Properties and the comparables in terms of location, tenure, size, shape, design and layout, age and condition of buildings, dates of transactions, the prevailing market conditions and other factors affecting their values.

We have also cross-checked our valuation with the income approach. This method entails the estimation of the gross rental income less vacancies and the necessary expenses such as maintenance and service charges, property tax and all other relevant expenses to derive the net income. This is then capitalized at an appropriate market yield for the remaining period of the lease to arrive at the open market value.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties, nor for any expenses or taxation which may incurred in effecting a sale. It is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

We have not carried out investigations on site in order to determine the suitability of ground conditions and services for the existing developments, nor have we undertaken archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys. Our valuation is on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory.

Neither the whole nor any part of this report nor any reference thereto may be included in any document, circular or statement without our written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.

Finally and in accordance with our standard practice, this valuation is for the use only of Far East Consortium International Limited. No responsibility is accepted to any other third party for the whole or any part of its contents.

A summary of our valuation and details relating to the Properties are set out in the following pages.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES ADOPTED IN THE PREPARATION OF VALUATIONS AND REPORTS

These are the general principles upon which our Valuations and Reports are normally prepared; they apply unless we have specifi cally mentioned otherwise in the body of the report.

1) VALUATION STANDARDS

All work are carried out in accordance with the Singapore Institute of Surveyors and Valuers (SISV) Valuation Standards and Guidelines and International Valuation Standards (IVS), subject to variations to meet local laws, customs, practices and market conditions.

2) VALUATION BASIS

Our valuations are made on the basis of Market Value, defi ned by the SISV as follows:

Market Value is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion.

3) CONFIDENTIALITY

Our Valuations and Reports are confi dential to the party to whom they are addressed or their other professional advisors for the specifi c purpose(s) to which they refer. No responsibility is accepted to any other parties and neither the whole, nor any part, nor reference thereto may be included in any published document, statement or circular, or published in any way, nor in any communication with third parties, without our prior written approval of the form and context in which they will appear.

4) SOURCE OF INFORMATION

Where it is stated in the report that information has been supplied by the sources listed, this information is believed to be reliable and we shall not be responsible for its accuracy nor make any warranty or representation of the accuracy of the information. All other information stated without being attributed directly to another party is obtained from our searches of records, examination of documents or enquiries with the relevant authorities.

5) DOCUMENTATION

We do not normally read leases or documents of title and, where appropriate, we recommend that lawyer’s advice on these aspects should be obtained. We assume, unless informed to the contrary, that all documentation is satisfactorily drawn and that good title can be shown and there are no encumbrances, restrictions, easements or other outgoings of an onerous nature which would have an effect on the value of the interest under consideration.

6) TOWN PLANNING AND OTHER STATUTORY REGULATIONS

Information on Town Planning is obtained from the set of Master Plan, Development Guide Plans (DGP) and Written Statement published by the competent authority. Unless otherwise instructed, we do not normally carry out requisitions with the various public authorities to confi rm that the property is not adversely affected by any public schemes such as road and drainage improvements. If reassurance is required, we recommend that verifi cation be obtained from your lawyers.

— III-C-7 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIC

Our valuations are prepared on the basis that the premises and any improvements thereon comply with all relevant statutory regulations. It is assumed that they have been, or will be issued with a Certifi cate of Statutory Completion by the competent authority.

7) TENANTS

Enquiries as to the fi nancial standing of actual or prospective tenants are not normally made unless specifi cally requested. Where properties are valued with the benefi t of lettings, it is therefore assumed that the tenants are capable of meeting their obligations under the lease and that there are no arrears of rent or undisclosed breaches of covenant.

8) STRUCTURAL SURVEYS

We have not carried out a building survey nor any testing of services, nor have we inspected those parts of the property which are inaccessible. We cannot express an opinion about or advise upon the condition of uninspected parts and this Report should not be taken as making any implied representation or statement about such parts. Whilst any defects or items of disrepair are noted during the course of inspection, we are not able to give any assurance in respect of rot, termite or past infestation or other hidden defects.

9) SITE CONDITIONS

We do not normally carry out investigations on site in order to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for the existing or any new development, nor have we undertaken any archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys. Unless we are otherwise informed, our valuations are on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory and that, where development is proposed, no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period.

10) OUTSTANDING DEBTS

In the case of buildings where works are in hand or have recently been completed, we do not normally make allowance for any liability already incurred, but not yet discharged, in respect of completed works, or obligations in favour of contractors, sub-contractors or any members of the professional or design team.

11) INSURANCE VALUE

Our opinion of the insurance value is our assessment of the reinstatement cost for insurance purpose and it comprises the total cost of completely rebuilding the property to be insured, together with allowances for infl ation, demolition and debris removal, professional fees, the prevailing G.S.T. (goods and services tax) and, if applicable, compliance with current regulations and by-laws.

4.2.5 Stage of Development/Expected Date of Completion

At the time of our inspection, we observed that the overall building structure of the 10-storey hotel block is completed while construction of the residential block has reached the 6th storey.

Based on information provided, the construction cost incurred as at 31 March 2012 amounted to S$27,004,783/-.

As the Property was purchased under the Government Land Sales programme, the government has imposed a project completion period of 72 months from the date of acceptance of tender (7 September 2009). We are given to understand that the project is expected to be completed by end 2012, well within the requisite completion period.

5. TOWN PLANNING

5.1 Current Master Plan

Based on the 2008 edition of Master Plan, the Property is zoned “Hotel” with a maximum permissible gross plot ratio of 3.5.

According to the Written Statement of the Master Plan 2008, the hotel zoned areas are used or intended to be used mainly for hotel development where at least 60% of the total fl oor area shall be used for hotel room fl oors and hotel-related uses as defi ned in the Planning (Development Charges) Rules. Commercial and residential uses may be considered by the competent authority subject to control on the use quantum as determined by the competent authority and they shall not exceed 40%

5.2 Written Permission

Written Permission was granted on 5 August 2010 by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (“URA”) for the proposed new erection of a 10-storey Hotel and 6-storey (68 units) residential development.

The proposed development on Lot 777W and Lot 782P Town Subdivision 5 is approved as a single integrated development with a total GFA not exceeding 16,226 sq metres (including additional balcony GFA of 296.55 sq metres). The overall plot ratio of the single integrated development, computed based on the 2 lots shall not exceed 3.5529. The 68 approved residential units shall not be converted to any other uses (including service apartment, hotel, boarding house) without prior planning approval from the Competent Authority.

The proposed use of the Property is in line with the existing zoning and development controls.

5.3 Road and Railway Reserves

Based on the Road Line Plan provided to us, the Lines of Road Reserve coloured red run along the boundaries of the Property.

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIIC

The Railway Protection Plan shows the entire site lying within the Railway Safety Zone. Any proposed development, construction or engineering activities within this zone are strictly regulated by the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of the existing railway.

As with all URA-approved developments, we understand that the building plans of the Property have made the necessary provisions for the construction of or setback for road, railway, drainage, sewage or other public services. On this basis, inter alia was planning approval granted for the proposed development on the Property. Hence, we confi rm that the said road lines and the railway lines do not adversely affect the valuation of the Property.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Property was a vacant land parcel purchased in an open tender under the Government Sale of Sites programme in 2009.

At the time of our inspection, we did not observe any uses on site that may pose as an environmental risk that could affect the value of the Property.

However, we wish to point out that we are not qualifi ed to detect nor report on environmental issues and we have assumed for the purpose of this valuation that the Property is not contaminated in any way.

7. TAX

For property tax purposes the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore has assessed the annual value of the Property to be $5,679,000 and property tax is payable annually at 10% of $5,679,000.

As for corporate tax, the current rate is 17% on the company’s chargeable income regardless of whether it is a local or foreign company.

As advised by FEC, the potential tax liability, which would arise from the disposal of the residential portion of the Property being crystallized is high as the Group has already pre-sold or put the residential units on sale in the market. The estimated amount of potential tax liability in respect of the residential portion of the property is approximately $4.4 million. For the hotel and commercial portion, the likelihood of the relevant tax liabilities being crystallized is remote as FEC has no plan for their disposal at this juncture.

8. HOTEL AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET OVERVIEW

8.1 Hotel

As part of its on-going efforts in actively promoting the Republic as a tourist and business destination, the Singapore Government in 2005, launched Tourism 2015, a long-term tourism master plan to attract 17 million visitors and $30 billion tourism receipts by 2015. The plan seeks to strengthen Singapore’s tourism position as a leading convention and exhibition city in Asia, an Asian leisure destination and a fi rst-class services centre in Asia for healthcare and education. A $2 billion Tourism Development Fund was also set up to attract mega events to Singapore and to develop strategic tourism products.

Despite the economic uncertainties, outlook for the tourism industry and hotel sector is positive, bolstered by the two integrated resorts, booming MICE industry and retail tourism. The momentum is set to continue with a line-up of new tourism products such as the Marine Life Park and Gardens by the Bay along with recent launches of highly-anticipated fashion labels such as Abercrombie & Fitch, H&M and Michael Kors. STB expects 13.5 to 14.5 million visitors in 2012, 2% to 10% higher than the previous year. Taking into account STB’s target of 17 million visitors by 2015, the future supply of around 12,907 rooms over the next fi ve years is on par with anticipated demand.

8.2 Residential

Despite the stream of bad news on the US economy and debt crises in Europe, along with the slowing growth in major economies such as Japan and China, the private residential market in Singapore continued to see robust home sales in 2011, mainly driven by the mass-market home segment. Arising from the fl ow of excessive liquidity from the region, investment demand for private homes here has also grown, prompting the government to impose a slew of new property measures to keep housing affordable for its citizens. The Additional Buyers’ Stamp Duty (“ABSD”), effective from 8 December 2011, comprises an additional 10% of stamp duty payable by corporate entities and foreigners purchasing a private residential property, while an additional 3% is imposed on permanent residents buying their second and subsequent residential property, and Singaporeans buying their third and subsequent residential property.

However buying interest gathered pace in January this year with three-fold transactions compared with that in December 2011. The fi rst three months of 2012 saw new home sales soaring to a new high of 6,682 units, even surpassing the full-year sales of 2004 and 2008. This surge was driven largely by the mass-market segment which accounted for about 85% of the total primary sales. The strong sales refl ect the strength of the underlying demand from fi rst-time home buyers and up-graders from public housing.

On the other hand, purchases by overseas buyers have been reined in by the ABSD as these dipped 10 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. As the top end of the residential market is typically driven by overseas buyers, activity in the luxury or high-end segment remained muted in Q1/2012.

9. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

9.1 Residual Method

In the Residual Method it is assumed that the Property is developed to its full potential within the planning parameters set out in the conditions of URA’s Written Permission.

This method entails an estimate of the gross development values (“GDV”) of the proposed hotel, F&B outlets and residential units as approved by URA and assuming they are fully completed to a reasonably good standard/quality.

GDV for the hotel and F&B outlets is derived by employing the Income Capitalisation Approach while the GDV of the residential units is the summation of the actual sales proceeds of the 67 pre-sold units and our imputed value for the remaining unit, by Market Comparison Method.

From these values are deducted the estimated cost of completing the development (approximately $50 million), as well as fi nancing cost and an allowance for developer’s profi t for undertaking such development, to arrive at a residual value for the Property in its existing state as at 31 March 2012.

9.2 Income Capitalisation Approach

In arriving at the gross development values of the proposed hotel and F&B components, we have adopted the Income Capitalisation Approach whereby we estimate their sustainable gross revenues that can be generated based on our projected achievable average rents, daily room rates and occupancy rate as well as revenues from non-lodging facilities. Deductions are then made for operating costs and expenses and undistributed operating expenses such as administrative, advertising, promotion and general expenses; management and incentive fees; maintenance, repairs and insurance expenses; and property tax.

The resultant net property income is then capitalised over the remaining term of the tenure at an appropriate yield that refl ects the market’s perception of the risk and opportunities for growth or security associated with the property. The capital value thus derived represents the amount a prudent purchaser would pay for the property.

9.3 Market Comparison Method

The Market Comparison Method is used primarily to arrive at the gross development value of the residential component, whereby the market value of the property is assessed having regard to recent transactions of similar type properties, preferably in the same locality. Appropriate adjustments are made to account for differences in tenure, location, size, age, condition, etc.

This method is based on the substitution principle whereby a prudent purchaser is assumed to pay no more for a particular property than it would cost to buy an equally desirable substitute property available in the market. This approach also takes into account the general prevailing economic conditions affecting the property market.

We have also used the Market Comparison Method as a cross-check in arriving at the GDV of the hotel and F&B components.

(D) PROPERTIES LOCATED IN AUSTRALIA (HELD BY THE CARE PARK GROUP)

27 June, 2012

The Directors Far East Consortium International Ltd 16/F, Far East Consortium Building 121 Des Voeux Road Central HONG KONG

Dear Sirs,

Valuation of 17 Car Park Properties, Australia (Properties) as at 31 March, 2012

We refer to recent instructions from Far East Consortium International Limited (the ‘Company’) requesting Urbis Valuations Pty Ltd (Urbis) to undertake valuations of 17 freehold and leasehold properties in Australia which are primarily used as commercial car parks. The addresses of the individual properties are provided in the schedule on Page III-D-11 of this report.

We advise that we have made investigations into various matters relating to the subject properties and also into property market conditions relevant to the subject properties for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the freehold or leasehold interests of the properties as at 31 March, 2012 (date of valuation).

1 BASIS OF VALUATION

1.1 Australia

The valuations have been prepared in accordance with the fair value defi nition incorporated within AASB116 Property Plant and Equipment and AASB140 Investment Properties. In accordance with AASB116, fair value is:

“ The amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.”

As all the subject property assets are considered by us to be non-specialised, the fair value for each property has been established by referring to market transactions of comparable properties. On this basis, fair value and market value have the same practical meaning.

It is also to be noted that each property has been assessed assuming a sale on an individual basis, assuming an orderly disposal programme. Further, although we have had due consideration for the business activities being conducted at each of the properties by the owning entity, Care Park Pty Ltd (‘Care Park’) or related companies, we have not attributed any value to the business associated with the operation of the car park business at each of the properties.

Accordingly, we advise that our valuations assume the sale of each property on an individual basis at or about the date of valuation, exclusive of any business or goodwill component.

— III-D-1 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIID

1.2 Hong Kong

Our valuations are also prepared in accordance with the ‘HKIS (Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors) Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005)’ and meet the requirements contained in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the ‘Exchange Listing Rules’) issued by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Our valuations are made on the basis of Market Value which is defi ned by the HKIS to mean ‘the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’ .

We have adopted the Direct Comparison Method in assessing the market value of each property and have counter checked such valuation by the Income Approach. When applying these methodologies to each property, we have referred to recent market transactions for comparable properties and have then made adjustments as appropriate to refl ect the differences as appropriate in factors such as date of sale, location, property quality, competitive positioning, length of ground lease or building leases as appropriate and any other factors considered appropriate in arriving at market value.

The Income Approach is commonly used in Australia as a method of valuing income-producing properties. This approach is based upon the application of a yield (capitalisation rate) to the net income from the property at the date of valuation. This net income is verifi ed by reference to rental levels paid on other comparable properties. No profi t forecast elements have been used in the Income Approach.

2 GENERAL AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

2.1 Legal Status

We have undertaken current searches of either the freehold title or ground lease in order to establish the legal entity ownership of all the properties and also to establish whether or not there are any limitations on title such as easements, encumbrances or covenants that might have a material impact on the value of each property. Where any property is subject to leases to external parties (eg shop leases), we have either been provided with a copy of the lease or have verifi ed pertinent lease information from the property owner.

A summary of affecting easements is provided on each individual Valuation Certifi cate.

2.2 Contamination

At the time of our inspection of each of the properties, we undertook a general visual inspection of both the subject property and surrounding properties to establish whether or not there was any likelihood of either contamination of the land or the improvements on the land. In all cases, the properties are located in either commercial or retail locations with no obvious evidence of contaminating uses from adjoining properties.

However, Urbis is not an expert in the detection of contaminating materials and we have not been provided with soil or building contamination surveys.

Accordingly, this valuation takes no account of the actual or possible effect on the value of the subject properties of any previous or current environmental hazard including pollution,

— III-D-2 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIID

contamination, noxious emission or discharge, or the cost of, or necessity for, ceasing or cleaning up any environmental hazard.

2.3 Site Services

In our reference to the availability of services (eg electricity, mains water, sewerage, mains gas and telephone), Urbis has either relied on information provided by the building owner, occupier or manager, or has had reference to information provided verbally by the various providers of such services. Unless stated to the contrary, Urbis has not undertaken formal searches to establish whether or not services are either available or connected to the subject properties.

2.4 Property Use

For all properties, we have examined the current Planning Scheme prepared by each local authority in which the relevant property is situated. In situations where the current use of the property (eg car parking, retail) is a use which requires a planning permit to be issued, Urbis has not obtained a copy of any planning permit and has relied upon the provisions of the relevant Planning Scheme to establish whether or not the existing use(s) is a permitted use.

Accordingly, Urbis takes no responsibility if any of the subject properties are currently being used for a purpose which has been prohibited either by a planning permit application or relevant planning scheme.

We are unaware of any plans to construct, renovate, improve or develop any of the properties, other than for regular maintenance and redecoration.

We are also unaware of any plans to dispose of or change the use of any of the properties.

2.5 Structural and Environmental Issues

At the time of our inspection, the building improvements generally appeared to be suitable for the use(s) to which they are currently being put. However, Urbis is not an expert in the area of building regulations including occupational health and safety standards. Accordingly, Urbis accepts no responsibility for any impact on the value of the properties through the requirement by the owner or occupier to undertake building upgrade or rectifi cation works to meet building standards and occupational health and safety requirements.

Whilst we have inspected the improvements in order to prepare this valuation, we have not carried out a structural survey. Accordingly, no warranty is given that the improvements and services are free of asbestos, pests or any other defect, whether structural or non-structural, latent or patent.

2.6 Tenancy Schedule/Business Statements

In undertaking our valuations, we have relied upon the tenancy schedules and business statements provided to us by the property owner in respect of current net and gross revenues. Where possible, we have benchmarked the gross and net revenues provided to us by Care Park with current pricing and occupancy rates for other comparable car parks. It is noted that we have not verifi ed this information by reference to cheque receipts or other audit procedures. Urbis accepts no responsibility for any material impact on value if a formal audit of the cash fl ow is materially different to that stated on the tenancy schedules or business statements provided to us by Care Park.

All properties are subject to a fi rst mortgage to Bank of Western Australia Limited.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any mortgages, charges or other amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in undertaking a sale of any of the properties. Accordingly, our valuations assume that if any of the properties were to be sold, it would be free from any mortgages, charges or amounts owing which could affect the market value.

2.8 Tax Liabilities

In our opinion the subject properties are most likely to be defi ned as a ‘going concern’ under the relevant provisions of current Goods and Services Tax (GST) legislation in Australia. Accordingly, a hypothetical sale of the interest valued herein is assumed to be GST free and our valuation is exclusive of any GST. Urbis takes no responsibility for the liability or otherwise for the payment of GST on an assumed sale of the interest valued herein.

In addition, any market rentals, passing rentals from existing leases and outgoings amounts are also assumed to be exclusive of GST unless stated to the contrary.

According to information prepared by the Company, the potential tax liabilities which would arise on the disposal of the development rights and property interests in this report at the amounts as valued by us mainly comprise Capital Gains Tax at 30%. As advised by the Company, the Company has no plan for the disposal of the development rights and property interests in this report and therefore the likelihood of relevant tax liabilities being crystallized is remote.

2.9 Occupancy

All properties are held for owner occupation, with the exception of Properties 2 and 11 which are held for part owner occupation and part investment. Accordingly, all properties are classifi ed as ‘held for owner occupation’.

2.10 Redevelopment

None of the properties are currently undergoing redevelopment or are being actively considered for redevelopment by the current owner. While some of the properties may have redevelopment potential at some point in the future, our valuations are not based upon any specifi c redevelopment proposal.

2.11 Market Data

In arriving at our market value for each of the properties, we have obtained information of market activity relevant to each property. This information includes details of sale and leasing transactions for comparable or similar properties, information relating to market activity and factors considered likely to affect the current value of each of the properties.

This information is obtained from a variety of sources including publicly available information (newspapers, statements by public companies, etc), subscription to information databases and information generally provided verbally by others such as estate agents, property managers, property valuers and consultants. In many instances, we have not had access to the original source material such as contracts of sale or signed leases. Although we have no reason to doubt the validity of the information provided to us, and we have relied on this information in good faith, we are unable to state with certainty that the information upon which we have relied is consistent with the contractual arrangements between the relevant parties.

2.12 Intra-group Leases

We are advised by the owner of all properties that there are no intra-group leases granted by the parent company to a subsidiary company on any of the properties.

2.13 Relevant Date

The valuations have been undertaken as at 31 March, 2012 and have been based upon information available to us at this date. Urbis accepts no responsibility for subsequent changes in information as to income or expenses relating to the subject properties, or to market conditions.

3 TRADING OVERVIEW

All of the subject properties are currently operated as public car park facilities. For 15 of the properties, the sole use is for car parking, however in the cases of Bank Street, Adelaide and Quadrant Plaza, York Street, Launceston, these properties also incorporate several retail premises leased to external third parties, in addition to the car park use.

The current portfolio of car park properties has been steadily built up over a period of some 15 years. Approximately eight of the 17 properties have been acquired within the last seven years.

As a result of this steady acquisition programme, it is not possible to provide a long term trading history.

Although individual car parks are subject to competitive pressures, such as the construction of a 685 bay car park in late 2010 directly opposite the Roper Street, Adelaide car park, generally speaking the portfolio of properties has been able to experience steady revenue growth and in certain cases such as Watergate, Melbourne, strong increases owing to the strength in the Melbourne CBD commercial markets.

Furthermore, there is still no signifi cant reduction in demand for the subject car parks, notwithstanding some problems associated with private transport access in major cities, particularly Melbourne. To this extent, while the introduction of the Congestion Levy in the Melbourne CBD and surrounding districts in 2006 had a dampening effect on car park revenues for some properties located within these precincts, market forces have now generally become accustomed to this levy and net revenue growth is again being experienced even in areas such as St Kilda Road, Melbourne, which were initially signifi cantly impacted by the Levy.

4 MARKET OVERVIEW

4.1 Investment Market

The values of car parks held for investment are subject to fl uctuations in property markets in the same way as other property asset classes are affected by both local and international economic conditions.

Since reaching a low point during 2009, there has been a steady recovery in both confi dence and activity in Australian commercial investment property. Although this recovery has not been even across all sectors, the commercial offi ce sector has generally experienced a greater level of recovery than, in particular, the retail sector where doubts still remain as to the likely impact of generally static spending levels and on-line retailing.

— III-D-5 —

VALUATION REPORTS OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX IIID

In particular, Melbourne experienced relatively strong levels of growth in the fi rst half of 2011 underpinned by robust market fundamentals. Investor confi dence in commercial offi ce markets has since expanded to Brisbane and Perth fuelled by strong demand for offi ce space and relatively low overall vacancies.

Levels of demand from the private investor market remain generally steady, albeit restricted to some degree by continued limited availability of fi nance as lending institutions are still cautious and loan to value ratios remain conservative. Further, there has been some erosion in investor confi dence since the middle of 2011, primarily due to on-going concerns with global fi nancial markets.

In summary, the non-residential property markets in Australia are generally stable and although there are variations depending upon location and sector, there is a general expectation that although future growth is likely to be subdued, there is little if any anticipation of declining levels of demand or activity in the short-term.

4.2 Car Park Market

At any given time, sales of freestanding or strata car parks are relatively infrequent. In this regard the majority of commercial car parks in major cities form part of larger mixed use properties and therefore are not available for separate sale. Alternatively, where car parks are on separate titles, they are often held by private investors on a long-term basis, with relatively few car parks owned by major institutional investors.

Over the last 12 months or so, there have been four transactions of commercial car parks in Victoria, three within the Melbourne CBD. Comments in relation to these sales as well as three transactions in Tasmania are provided below.

  • 224–250 Latrobe Street, Melbourne, VIC — A freehold ten level car park comprising 689 bays plus several retail tenancies forming part of Melbourne Central. The car park benefi ts from sub-terranean pedestrian access link under Latrobe Street to Melbourne Central Shopping Centre. The car park is operated by Wilson Parking under a three year management agreement which also includes the nearby Melbourne Central Car Park expiring on 30 June, 2012. The car park is primary operated for the benefi t of Melbourne Central Shopping Centre and as such generating a below market income. Purchased by a local investor/land banker for $29.2 million in September 2011, refl ecting a rate of $42,380 per bay and an analysed market yield of 5.10%.

  • Exo, Collins Street, Docklands, Melbourne, VIC — 60 strata car spaces within the Lend Lease Exo development situated on the north-west corner of Collins Street and Merchant Street, with the Victoria Harbour precinct of Docklands. All 60 spaces are leased to Aurecon for 10+5+5 years at a rate of $425 per bay pcm excluding GST and car park levy with 4% annual reviews. Purchased by CIMB Trust Capital in conjunction with their purchase of an adjoining offi ce building for $3.66 million in October, 2011, refl ecting a rate of $61,000 per bay and analysed net yield of 7.11%.

  • 300 Flinders Street, Melbourne, VIC — A strata nine level car park comprising 574 bays forming part of an offi ce and retail development. Passing net income at time of sale was approximately $2,143,000 per annum which refl ects a passing yield of 7.59%. The estimated market net income is approximately $2,350,000. Purchased by private investor with vacant possession subject to a monthly management agreement to GreenCo Parking for $28.2 million in November, 2011, refl ecting a rate of $49,129 per bay and an analysed market yield of 8.30%.

  • 5 South Centre Road, Tullamarine, VIC — Built in 2009, operated by Jetport Security Parking on a monthly licence. Net passing income approximately $650,000 per annum however above average growth in net revenue is expected as business matures. Purchased with vacant possession by private investor for $8.05 million in April, 2011, refl ecting a rate of $12,385 per bay and an analysed market yield of 8.07%.

  • 44 Argyle Street, Hobart, TAS — Comprises a 545 bay multi-level car park, located within a mixed use offi ce/retail and Woolworths supermarket development, opposite the Royal Hobart Hospital. The development is nearing completion, with the sale still to be settled. The property was contracted for sale in 2009, with contracted price (subject to settlement) refl ecting approximately $31,500 per bay.

  • 179–183 Collins Street, Hobart, TAS — Comprises a mixed use commercial complex containing seven cinemas, games parlour, “A” Grade offi ces and 260 car parking bays. The property was sold in August 2010 fully leased, with the car park operated under a management agreement. The sale price refl ects an initial yield of approximately 10.4%. Analysis of the sale price refl ects a rate per car parking bay of approximately $25,385.

  • 82–84 Bathurst Street, Hobart, TAS — Comprises a 32 bay open air car park, located within the Hobart CBD. Sold September 2010 with sale price refl ecting $31,250 per bay and $1,018 per m2 land area.

From reference to the above car park transactions, it will be noted that the Victorian sales equate to yields generally in the range of 7.0% to 8.5% (excluding 224-250 Latrobe Street purchased on a lower yield due to short to medium term development potential) but somewhat higher for the mixed use property at 179–183 Collins Street, Hobart at approximately 10.4%.

As a basis of comparison with other property investment classes, we have considered recent past and current yields for offi ce and retail investment property in Melbourne and Adelaide, where the majority of the higher value Care Park properties are located:

Investment Yields
CARE PARK PORTFOLIO
March 2011 March 2012
Melbourne Adelaide Melbourne Adelaide
Off ces:
Prime 6.75%–7.50% 7.75%–9.00% 6.50%–7.50% 7.50%–9.00%
Secondary 8.00%–8.75% 9.00%–10.00% 8.00%–9.00% 9.00%–10.00%
Retail:
Neighbourhoods centres 7.50%–9.50% 7.50%–9.50% 7.00%–9.00% 7.00%–9.00%

Source: Urbis

From reference to the above, it will be noted that there has been a minor improvement in investment yields for offi ce and retail property in both Melbourne and Adelaide over the 12 months up to March, 2012, with investment yields fi rming generally between 25 to 50 basis points.

In our view, the steady cash fl ow from car parks makes them able to attract yields generally closer to the retail rather than offi ce sectors, however the often competitive nature of car parks, particularly in CBD locations, means that they do not generally attract prime retail yields.

4.3 Local Markets

  • Adelaide — As with other Australian CBD capital cities, values for larger institutional investment properties weakened from mid-2008 before stabilising in late 2009. Sales of commercial offi ce buildings during 2009 represented yields generally in the range of 8.5%–10.5%, refl ecting the need by many institutional investors to divest assets to reduce gearing ratios and a limited pool or purchasers.

Discussions with local agents reveal that demand for properties with steady, secure cash fl ows such as securely let retail premises and car parks with an established trading history are currently sought after by investors. There have been no reported sales of car park properties in Adelaide since the major Adelaide Central car park sale in September 2008.

During 2010 and 2011, sales of offi ce investments returned to more traditional levels, with recent recorded sales within the Adelaide CBD as follows:

  • 111 Gawler Place, Adelaide (January 2012) — $15.6 million refl ecting 10.3%

  • 77 Grenfell Street, Adelaide, (July 2011) — $91.7 million refl ecting 7.6%

  • 55 Currie Street, Adelaide (May 2011) — $79.0 million refl ecting 9.2%

  • 41 Currie Street, Adelaide (April 2011) — $10.8 million refl ecting 9.58%

  • Metropolitan Melbourne — As a result of sound economic conditions within the Victorian economy and continued strong population growth, most sectors of the metropolitan Melbourne markets performed well in 2011.

The Melbourne CBD (including Docklands) offi ce vacancy rate continued to decline from 5.8% in July, 2011 to 5.3% in January, 2012. A lack of new supply in the fi rst half of 2012 is likely to help keep vacancies between 5.0% and 5.5%, before increasing in the second half of 2012 as new stock and back fi ll supply comes online.

Recent transactions of A grade offi ce buildings in the Melbourne CBD include:

  • 120 Collins Street, Melbourne (December, 2011) — $255 million refl ecting 6.50%

  • 661 Bourke Street, Melbourne (December, 2011) — $100 million refl ecting 7.16%

  • 452 Flinders Street, Melbourne (November, 2011) — $201.5 million refl ecting 7.41%

  • 850 Collins Street, Docklands, Melbourne (November, 2011) — $115 million refl ecting 7.11%

Within the suburban markets, a marked reduction in the construction of new offi ce space during 2011 has generated a short-term lack of supply. Throughout 2011, leasing demand within inner suburban locations was stronger than demand conditions in outer suburban, although there were still several pre-commitment deals.

  • Regional Victoria — The relatively small size of the commercial markets in regional Victoria and limited sales activity makes it more diffi cult to assess price trends on a quarter by quarter basis. However, discussions with agents in centres such as Shepparton, Ballarat and Bendigo reveal that private investor demand for well-located and/or well leased retail/ commercial property is sound.

  • Tasmania — Economic conditions within Tasmania continued to decline in 2011. Seasonally adjusted retail turnover has trended downward since late 2009. The deterioration in the retail sector has contributed to rising vacancies, downward pressure on rentals and increasing use of lease incentives. As at March 2012, the State unemployment rate was 7.2%, which is above the State’s long term average of 6.2%, having weakened from a low of 3.8% in October 2008. Signifi cant State Government cost cutting measures, reduced construction activity, diffi cult conditions in manufacturing and retailing and signifi cant restructuring of the forestry industry have contributed to the increased unemployment rate, with a weak employment outlook in the short to medium term.

Despite the prevailing economic and market conditions, the retail property sector was relatively active through 2011, with approximately 30 transactions of properties in the $1,000,000 plus price segment. Sales included several major shopping centres and redevelopment sites. Recent sales have indicated a softening in yields for retail properties from the peak of the market of between 0.25%–1.5%, with properties located in secondary retailing areas being worst affected. Development site sales also refl ected falling values. Local agents report very soft demand so far in 2012.

  • Brisbane — The Brisbane and Queensland economies have had something of a roller coaster ride over the last two to three years, partly due to a general slowdown in economic activity caused by natural disasters including extensive fl ooding in Brisbane and the impact of Cyclone Yasi. The Queensland economy is expected to grow strongly over the 2013 fi nancial year due to the impact from the resource sector although the benefi ts from this mining boom have yet to fl ow through to the wider Queensland economy.

The offi ce vacancy rate in the Brisbane CBD peaked in January 2010 at 11.3% although the offi ce market has performed strongly on the back of increased demand from the mining industry since this date. Vacancy rates have fallen to 6.2% in January 2012 with the largest 12 month net absorption on record at 92,140m². This vacancy rate is likely to increase in the short term with the addition of large prime grade assets such as 111 Eagle Street entering the market in the next six months.

Investors are slowly returning to the Brisbane market with a number of large profi le purchases over the 2011 period. 55 Elizabeth Street and 1 Eagle Street were the largest investments in the market at $169.5 Million and $216.375 Million (part sale) respectively.

5 VALUATION APPROACH

  1. For the purpose of determining the entitlement of the shareholders of the Company to attend and vote at the EGM, the Register of Members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 18 July 2012 to Friday, 20 July 2012, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the EGM, unregistered holders of shares should ensure that all share transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certifi cates must be lodged with the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Standard Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 17 July 2012.

  2. A member entitled to attend and vote at the EGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must be present in person to represent the member.

  3. In order to be valid, a form of proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarially certifi ed copy of such power or authority, shall be deposited at the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Standard Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.

  4. Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such joint holders may vote, either in person, or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he/she was solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the EGM or any adjournment thereof, the most senior shall alone be entitled to vote, whether in person or by proxy. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the name stands fi rst in the Register of Members of the Company in respect of such joint holding.

  5. The resolutions set out in the notice will be decided by poll at the EGM.
